Consent is Sexy! You heard us right. Listen along as Mary describes her thesis and we go on a Twilight tangent. Pop culture references are included as examples of media and content that represents the do’s and don’ts of consent. We owe this episode to Smart Bitches Trashy Books and Tarana Burke.

TW: rape, abuse, sexual intimacy

In this episode we evaluate Tina’s thesis for her Master’s in Human Rights Education. We discuss how Trump as a figure has become weaponized through his presidency and how within education, students of color are at risk. Pieces from Tina’s thesis such as participant stories are also highlighted. There was a struggle with brain today. You will find the thesis “Contextualizing BIPOC High School Students’ Racialized Experiences Under Trump” in the link below.

TW: Critical Race Theory (CRT), Trump, racism, public education, grooming, microaggressions

The rise in conversations around Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)—diversity in general—are coming in many forms. Our working definition of a diverse community ranges from age, music taste, sexuality, and economic status. What does it mean for us ALL to be surrounded by people who don’t exactly reflect every identity we hold? 

CW: race, gender, class, politics, BIPOC belonging

Can you, do you, consent to intimacy? How do you define intimacy? We explore intimate moments as separate from vulnerability, and also as a partner too. *can you hear our excitement?* Examples are shared in what intimacy looks like, as it is more than physical and/or sexual intimacy. Brene Brown really carried us through. :,) 

CW: assault, physical/emotional vulnerability, gender binary, manipulation

We are excited to hear from you! Please reach out to us on Instagram or via email at [email protected].
