On this guest episode, I bring on my best friend Anna, as we go on a brief road trip, to dish out various topics that just...well, you'll get to know us on a more intimate level, and some of our notorious activities- like getting banned on Tinder, our past in harassing men, doing a brief exposé on male manipulators, among others. We also talk about our *funny* but not so funny car crash incident that highlights our bad luck with the world and how the world generally erupts in a cataclysmic way when we’re together. We are extremely boisterous, loud, and annoying so take this as your warning before you choose to listen. Thank you Anna!
In this guest episode, I bring back on ‘Resident Hinge Boy’ to dissect our birth charts in celebration of Mercury Retrograde ending, helping deepen his knowledge about his moon and rising signs while offering some insights about what your Venus, Mars, Mercury (etc) means! We check out the nitty gritties of Costar and Sanctuary, talk about spirituality in different realms including- experiences with a medium, impromptu tarot readings on a date, and how cult-y organized religion is.
Tik Tok made me do it? I'm sharing some of my poetry with the encouragement and request of wonderfully kind individuals from TikTok (after sharing some poetry videos on the platform recently) that explores themes such as love and heartbreak, depression, traveling, placelessness, and the overall transience of life. A few of these poems are from a specific segment titled 'From Me to You' which is an ongoing collection of poems I've written about people in my life, unmarked, who have affected me throughout the way.
In this episode, I bring on my best friend Ashley (again!) to talk about our old 1D obsessions, uncovering how she ran a famous Twitter fan account and how I wrote fanfiction on Wattpad that went viral. We talk celebrity encounters- seeing Lil Uzi at a Wawa, passing by J-lo from six feet away, paying money to see Trisha Paytas eat Dominos pizza, and Ashley sneaking into a Halsey meet and greet. I talk about the time a famous musician's guitarist asked me out on a date (kinda?) and more! Ashley also offers great advice to singles and offers to bake Valentines day cakes.
In this episode, I talk about some of the nightmares of womanhood through some personal (funny? weird? borderline scary?) experiences during college- like the time my uber driver played redbone by Childish Gambino for me before locking me into his Tesla and insisting on being my sugar daddy, and also the time I was told I was being watched during the week by a (sorta?) stalker during my internship commute.
In this guest episode, I bring on my best friend, Ashley, to uncover details about our cringy middle school experiences- ranging from personalized sex-ed lessons from my 9th-grade crush that turned sour, reading my embarrassing diary entries, an insider look at freshman year in an all-girls private high school, and our overall inability to flirt- we get honest. We expose ourselves on our obsessive usage of the pendulum our sophomore year of college to summon our crushes, one Bumble boy's obsession with Ashley in the baby filter, and more! Thank you Ashley for kindly joining me on today's episode.
In this episode, (Trigger warning for discussing weight loss!) I talk about the harmful effects of fat-shaming/body-shaming, my personal experiences of being treated differently throughout a weight gain and weight loss process, and also the one time I was fat-shamed by a Turkish Cowboy in Cappadocia.
Talking about the ways BIPOC creatives can mitigate creative oppression in the artistic world/creative industries, how self-expression and creativity is a pivotal component to prospering as a POC artist in the workplace, the difference between 'tokenizing' and 'diversifying' and the harsh reality of black and brown individuals being tokenized within the industry. I also have some good Netflix show recommendations if you're looking to see diversity on your screen centered around thought-provoking topics of activism, perceived identities, and racism!
