In our last episode of Season 1, join Ava as she explains how our efforts can be utilized as a collective, as we fight and speak up for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and Transgender lives. Our efforts in creating change in the parts of society that we find unjust must be a lifestyle. Set goals and weekly commitments to yourself. To create lifelong, long-lasting change, we must fight the good fight day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year. What will you implement into your life to become a lifelong ally? Listen to your black and trans community members, writers, educators and activists, hear/read/share their perspectives and ideas, sign petitions weekly, donate monthly, speak with your city council members, and call out racism and queerphobia in your life- whether it be in the home, in the workplace, or within government institutions- The time has come to no longer stay silent. Let’s practice, learn, and grow together. I loved learning and speaking with you and our guests this season.

Reproductive justice is more than having control over your body and your pregnancies. It also has to do with the quality of life that you and your environment can provide for your child. Listen to this episode to find out what elements a society needs in order to experience true reproductive justice and to learn about how the ongoing racial oppression, which continues to live in the fabrics of the United States, disables us from having true reproductive freedom.

From the children’s toy aisles at Target to Pornhub’s homepage, we see an overwhelming number of messages that sexualize children, particularly young girls. In this episode, we discuss some examples of children being sexualized in media along with the consequence it can and does have on individuals' self esteem, feelings of self worth, and academic performance. We finish it off with some suggestions on what we can do to combat these negative messages and to raise children who can intelligently process their surroundings, rather than falling into the mental trap that they must perform in a certain (sexual and attractive) way to be loved and accepted by society and their peers. --- You can contact me here [email protected] -

Disability, immigration status, financial security, and a lot more make it difficult for individuals to gain control over their future by planning their pregnancy. This episode is all about #freethepillday and its mission to bring birth control pills to a no-prescription-needed, over-the-counter pill.
