  • The Great(est) Pumpkin

    It's the final week of scary pumpkin season! We get into a discussion about scary movies and all things spooky.

    The crew has lots to share on self-care this week. Jo Lee's perspectives are changing, Zach is pulling through, Carlos drops a word, and Johnathan starts new routines.

    The whole QPOC gang wishes you a fabulous and safe Halloween! Pull some tricks. Have some treats. And remember, candy corn is not keto-friendly.

  • Let's Get Freaky

    As Halloween month continues, the crew is ready to explore their freaky sides. Sex can be a scary conversation for some, especially for queer and trans people of color. There can be shame attached to our experiences. Sometimes, we don't have all the information. Messaging we receive as young people has consequences. In the age of internet hookups, the unknown can put our physical safety at risk.

    There's a LOT to unpack. So... Let's talk about sex baby!

  • Hello from the Other Side

    Spooky Season continues as we delve into the seasonal traditions of just some of our QPOC ancestral worship. The spread of Christianity through colonization has reshaped spiritual culture for many people of color. In many cases, especially for African Americans, it's meant the outright erasure and rejection of those traditions.

  • Fear in Space

    This week, the Credibility Crew tackle the topic of "safe space". Specifically, we discuss the lack of virtual and tangible spaces for nonbinary People of Color. Externally, it's easy to find language about "brave space", but where can nonbinary people turn to address their fears and concerns?

    Zach seems tongue-tied. Johnathan's getting the casting couch ready. Jojo is movin' and groovin'. Carlos whips the cointadas in shape.

  • Ghost Stories and Spooky Tales
    Ghosts? Gargoyles? Witch books!? October means everyone’s favorite spooky time of year. Halloween is coming which got us to thinking about ghost stories. The gang shares their experiences getting ghosted (and being the ghost).

    We also talk about ghosting on platonic friends. What are your ghost stories?

    Johnathan feels better, #ThisKetoLife gives Zach nightmares, Jo Lee talks ADHD, and Carlos is high yellow.
