Unconvenient Truth

This week we discuss our current life in quarantine and we are all over the place! Both of your hosts are tired and a little loopy. Fair warning this podcast contains negritude and streams of consciousness. We discuss our reflections on the year, the upcoming decade, lessons learned, missed branding opportunities, Mr. I's new aesthetic, embracing the squishy time, and allllllll the TV we are watching. We know you are tired and we are here in it with you. Continue to be well and stay safe.

The last few weeks have been crazy and your hosts are well aware. So this week we discuss keeping your sanity and mental health intact in a pandemic, amidst an election, during the holiday season with special guess social worker and therapist Tamara Tatum-Broughton. But as always our conversations meander through self-care tips, face dicks, good tv shows and presenting your children as serial killers to your coworkers during Zoom calls. We wish all of you a very happy holiday full of social distancing and safety. Wakanda Forever!

After a summer of time-traveling your cosmically intertwined hosts are back with a new episode. This episode covers a lot of bases: the Breonna Taylor decision, the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the upcoming election, capitalism and white supremacy, voting, and the multiple apocalypses facing our world! Most pressingly is our urge to vote and we also encourage you to do so also! In fact, Leigh tells you what she is willing to do for change in this country while Mr. I lends a hand or two... Most excitingly Mr Intrigue reveals his theme for the new year and Leigh explains how that plays into the show's new direction. The journey isn't over kids and there's so much further to go and we will be right here with you along the way. Please stay safe!

Wakanda Forever!

Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in between this is our last stop on our lost episode tour. We certainly hope you've enjoyed time-traveling with us. Our last stop is once again in Wakanda because every trip should end in Wakanda...it should probably start there too as well--HELL why leave ever?! This week revisit our first live show and hear from the performers - a drag king, some super dope Yo-Yo exhibitionists, and a lady that makes her WAP sparkle. Your hosts also discuss the impact of Chadwick Boseman and the meaning of Wakanda Forever! Thank you for listening, we love you and Rest in Power King!

This week we are excited and heartbroken to present to you a very special lost episode of the Unconvenient Truth! In January of 2019 (on the low) we did a live show! Even more so was the concept -- A completely black queer sideshow based on Wakanda! The show entitled Unforgiveable Blackness 2: The Clapback from Wakanda! Our excitement is bittersweet as we were sideswiped by the passing of our king Chadwick Boseman. This work was and is a direct result of his influence and we will forever be grateful. Our best wishes and condolences go to his family in this time and we dedicate these episodes to him. This was an amazing one night only show and you will get to listen to the audio with the added bonus of hearing the interviewers talk about that night and their art. This will be part 1 so make sure you return for part 2. Chadwick, we love you and of course WAKANDA FOREVER!

This episode your hosts Leigh and Intrigue PREPARE TO DIE! But this week they are lucky enough to go with grace with the Death Douala Alua Arthur. We can't tell you how much we stan for this woman! From the beginning she mind-jujitsu-ed us on the concept of death and roaches! This lady is amazing and has an origin story worthy of a Marvel Comic. This conversation is both deep thought-provoking and light-hearted. Our deaths are in the future but remarkably this turned out to be a conversation about the present. Please come get your life with us and Alua on the Unconvenient Truth. If you want more of Alua try her death mediation at the included link. We had a wonderful time and a beautiful conversation we hope that think you will get so much out of it. Please stay safe and be well.

This episode we go back into the vault (and the time machine) to dig up a treat for you! This is the second of our F!ck Money Kill Series and our guest is Juan Reid, a home-comer who is with us to talk about money, capitalism, the prison-industrial complex, andWHO IS TRYING trying to upend, subvert, or destroy the systems of oppression with his coop Tight Shift. This conversation is deep, emotionally-charged and as always truthful AF! Prepare yourself for all the feels as your shondo will be rocked! After listening to the show and the update please find Juan's collective, Tight Shift on Facebook and IG.
