Sun Seed Community Podcast

CONTENT WARNING:

This episode covers anti-Black and anti-queer violence both on a familial and national level. 

I was greatly humbled by my conversation with Cameroonian entrepreneur and LGBT+ activist,  Bandy Kiki. She clearly broke down African queer history while we navigated the differences and nuances of being Black queer sapphic folx from drastically different cultures and continents. Join our conversation as Kiki shares the reality of cultural icebergs, tips on dating other Black womxn, and honoring communal life and culture.

Our fourth episode is with Dragon Mystic Visionary, Tiff Lin. I can’t say that without thinking RAWR!  It was such a joy to hear about their experiences with self acceptance and radical empathy as a pathway back to humanity. Their wisdom and stories of healing and awakening as a queer non-binary Chinese person will leave you so grounded and dreaming of ways to address ancestral trauma with fearsome yet gentle love. Let’s unlock the code together, y’all!

Whew! Fam, excuse me as I continue to fangirl on this dope-ass couple.  Erotic Artists, Papi and Feiginix Reign Sinner of Vagina Based were so sincere and honest about their work in the sex industry. Join us as we talk about the white fuckery of porn and how they are changing that. You’ll also hear some real ooey-goey moments on them being partnered and how filming their sex has shifted how they connect with each other and themselves. You may need tissues for multiple reasons.

Shirley Man-Kin identifies as a queer, asian-american woman of color. She lives and works as a community organizer and yoga teacher on the homelands of Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute nations, also known as northern colorado. Shirley spends a lot of her time desperately trying to meld together two (artificially) separated worlds- the body work/spiritual realm and social movement organizing. She’s combining her skills and knowledge from ethnic studies, women and gender studies and community organizing with her deepest passion (breath work, meditation and yoga) to try to create something that can be transformative, healing and (gasp) pleasurable for her community.When not being self- referential in a bio, you can find her playing with her dogs, biking around town, taking naps, or reading a book.
