In this short episode, Charlie talks about what is going on in her life from a bear destroying their bird feeder to a yummy cookbook inspired meal. (The cookbook is called Small Victories by Julia Turshen)

For Charlie's birthday this year and with it being pride month, she is asking for donations through her Facebook campaign for the Black Trans Women Advocacy Coalition. Please consider donating to honor the black trans women who have fought for the rights of our LGBTQIA communities.

She also discusses The Radical Joy Project's event this week for black femme healing. It is on June 28th from 6-9pm in the Loring Park area. Please check out their Instagram @radicaljoyproject and/or email them at [email protected] to figure out how you can contribute. (For example, Charlie donated necklaces she made and Kyle donated tattoo gift cards for their raffle. Cash funds are also accepted.)

After a day of forging and laying pavers, Charlie & Kyle sit down to chat with a cold beer about the completed projects. These minisodes will touch on completed woodworking, forging, art, or home renovations projects in real time. They chat about a couple of bottle openers and a fire roasting stick that Kyle forged as well as adding pavers at the bottom of the steps of their deck.

Charlie interviews her youngest sister, Ryan after a day of planting in the garden. They discuss Ryan's recent graduation from Harbor City International HS, her plans for the future, and what she thinks of Charlie & Kyle's hobby farm.
