  • Andrew Gurza - Controls His Joy Stick - Ep 17
    Andrew Gurza, award winning Disability Awareness Consultant joins us for a second episode in which he tells us about his exciting, new sex toy company, Handi along with the company’s first ground-breaking sex toy, the Joystick, that will put pleasure within reach for tens of thousands of disabled people as soon as early 2022. Andrew also drives home the power of using humor to reach people who would otherwise be too intimidated to learn about disability. Using such terms as “bear in a chair” and “queer cripple”, Andrew says that he makes discussing disability less scary for both himself and others. And Andrew isn’t shy about discussing sex. He unpacks both his exciting and traumatizing emotional experiences related to accessing sex as a disabled person, describing why these experiences have led him to having a more tantric mindset regarding sex. Please join us for another episode of Open Deeply as we learn how to break down ableism, face our fears about disability, and laugh with Andrew as we do it.

  • Andrew Gurza: Disabled People are Hot - Ep 16
    Andrew Gurza, an award-winning Disability Awareness Consultant and the Co-founder of Handi, a sex toy company that puts pleasure within reach for disabled people, joins us to tell three moving stories from his life. The first takes us to his early childhood to the moment that he really felt the emotional weight of his disability. This difficult story is interwoven with the wonderful humor Andrew is famous for. In the second story, he recounts the first time he had sex as a queer and disabled young man in college with such transparency and vulnerability that we feel everything right there with him; the excitement, the struggle, and the pain. And in his third story, he exuberantly rolls down the red carpet as his purpose and importance as a queer, disabled activist becomes crystal clear. In this interview, and as always, Andrew is brimming over with full tilt loveability, humor, and naughtiness in the best possible way. We hope you join us for this amazing episode of Open Deeply that allows us all to have a better idea of what it’s like to be queer, disabled and a living testimony to the viral hashtag of his making, #DisabledPeopleAreHot.

  • Dr. Kim TallBear: Critical Polyamorist & Dakota Queen - Ep 14
    Dr. Kim TallBear, Professor of Native Studies, author, and regular international media commentor on issues related to Indigenous peoples, science, sexualities, and non-monogamy weaves wisdom throughout her amazing life story on this episode of Open Deeply. As a small child, Kim knew she was a queen, but the intergenerational impact of settler colonization created many hurdles for herself and her Dakota indigenous relatives. Poverty, sexual abuse, and chaos all impacted her childhood as is tragically the case for so many North American Indigenous children. However, she funneled her consequent anger to break free, creating a new reality for herself. This anger got her out into the world making her both politically and intellectually oppositional. Concurrent with her activism, she experienced non-monogamy for the first time in college, finding it very comfortable, but knowing the world would not approve. Flash forward to now, Kim is a leading intellectual on the topics of non-monogamy, Native Studies, and how these topics intersect. Her passionate explanation regarding why polyamorists, especially relationship anarchists, are allies for indigenous people, as they push back against settler colonial social norms, is profoundly mind expanding and needed. And there is so much more to this amazing episode. So, we hope you will join us for another riveting episode of Open Deeply.

  • Babatunde Akinboboye - Lonely in Lagos to California Love Ep 13
    Professional international opera singer, Babatunde Akinboboye, otherwise known as the HipHopera Guy, joins us again for a deeper exploration of his life journey told in the previous episode. We explore the generational shifts between himself and his father regarding masculinity and how these differing embodiments of manhood effect psychological health and love. And while Babatunde discusses his mother’s jarring immigration from Nigeria to the U.S. and the consequent plummet in the cultural respect given to her, he envisions a human race that is more stable and nurtured if we gave Black women, with their unrivaled deep warmth, the respect they deserve. Other topics discussed include his deep belief in getting mental health care, crying if you need to, and fighting injustice where you find it. And finally, he tells us about his bold vision for the future of opera including hiphopera. Please join us for another fascinating and informative episode of Open Deeply.
    About Babatunde Akinboboye:

  • Babatunde Akinboboye - Nigerian Childstar to Hiphopera Guy Ep 12
    Babatunde Akinboboye, the HipHopera Guy, joins us in an eye opening episode of Open Deeply. While Babatunde weaves operatic excellence seamlessly with hiphop and trap beats, you can see that he brims over with next level passion and joy. You would never suspect the intense struggle that he has overcome across his life. While his early childhood was filled with love and cuddles, it brutally shifted to one of physical abuse, a struggle with undiagnosed ADHD while feeling lost, depressed and lonely. But soon, Babatunde was kidnapped out of this emotionally unbearable situation by a benevolent family intervention leading to new opportunities, especially in music. However, the struggle didn’t end there. Once in the U.S., he contended with racism and the experience of being othered, not just in school, but later from the international opera establishment despite its self-assessment of being evolved and civilized. Clearly, not so much. But neither struggle nor obstacle has ever blocked Babatunde for long. Eventually, he, along with the Black Opera Alliance, stood up against the old school opera establishment and he broke free from their stagnant rules when he launched his hiphopera style which has been embraced by ever growing fan base and the media. Please join us for another amazing life story on Open Deeply.

  • Jimanekia Eborn Blossoms - Ep 11
    Jimanekia Eborn, trauma specialist and founder of Tending the Garden, joins us again to process her life story from the previous episode. After witnessing her mother’s murder at age one, Jimanekia’s inner child has had a lot of healing to do. But she candidly tells us that self-healing has not always been on the forefront of her mind. In her early years, many times, she admits to going off course down roads that led to more trauma for herself. Other times, through her work in the mental health industry, she has put another survivor’s healing before her own. Regardless, she explains that she has always had the instinct to “make her mommy proud” and so both her self-healing and her vision for helping others has persevered. In this episode, we talk about everything from her unexpected connection to pro wrestling, her philosophy on the importance of positive destruction along with her desire to “fuck up and rebuild the sex ed community”, a rally cry that all three of us can get behind for the good of humankind. Finally, she fleshes out her vision for the future that includes continuing her crucial life’s work with Tending the Garden. Please join us for another captivating episode of Open Deeply.
    About guest, Jimanekia Eborn:
    Jimanekia Eborn is a Queer Media Consultant, Comprehensive Sex Educator, and Sexual Assault & Trauma Expert. With a Masters in Health Psychology, she has worked in mental health for the past 13 years in sex education and sexual trauma support.

  • Jimanekia Eborn Tends Her Garden - Ep 10
    Jimanekia Eborn, who refers to herself as a “child of trauma”, takes us on her powerful life journey from witnessing her mother being brutally murdered at the age of one to becoming an inspiring expert in the areas of sexual trauma support and sex education with a special love for helping those with marginalized identities. Her childhood included many struggles related to class, race, and bodily autonomy. By age twelve, she had already learned that Black bodies are commodified which contributed to her difficulties with internalized body shame and her choice to keep her sexual awakening very private. Despite never being kissed until age seventeen, college was a game changer. Here, she discovered the “power of her pussy”. She organically found non-monogamy and even experienced her first play party. After college, Jimanekia traversed the mental health field, finally finding her soul’s love while holding space for sexual abuse survivors, helping them heal while concurrently educating on healthy, shame free sex.

  • Destin Gerek: Erotic Rockstar to Evolved Masculine - Ep 8
    Destin Gerek, once the Erotic Rockstar and now founder of the Evolved Masculine, is a globally recognized leading voice in masculinity, sexuality, and personal empowerment, but he didn’t start there. He was profoundly changed after witnessing the pain of his high school girlfriend who is a rape survivor. His deep empathy for her led him to question our concept of masculinity and masculinity within himself for years. Later, he became a victim of police brutality causing him to fall into an existential questioning of humanity. But life has never let Destin retreat for long. Fate led him to Mexico, where he initially hung with a group of Mexican Zapatista revolutionaries, but finally found a spiritual group rooted in a Toltec philosophy. It was these visionary thinkers that shifted his life trajectory and world view. His next phase included traveling the world, experiencing many incarnations, and an epic sexual odyssey. Finally, he morphed into the man he is today, directly supporting thousands of men to have better sex, deeper connections to their masculine power, women, and themselves.
