Today I want to highlight the awesome work being done by the (@blkpodcollective) out of Atlanta, a community organization created to help Black podcasters start, grow, and sustain their podcasts. Anybody who follows me knows I am annoyingly passionate about podcasts and audio and am literally addicted to the mic. But as much as I love it, podcasting (like pretty much every other branch of media) is riddled with systemic barriers and biases which can prevent Black creators from achieving success. @blkpodcollective provides educational resources, avenues to increase visibility for work by Black creators, and a digital community for creators and listeners! I'd be beyond honored if you would join me in supporting the Collective, either financially or by spreading the word or by engaging with any of the great work they're generating. They have a kickass podcast (Season 2 is launching on September 9) geared towards helping creators launch and sustain their audio projects. And tomorrow, August 12, they're hosting a (socially-distant) online Podfest Micro Con with all kinds of sessions on audio development and podcasting, which you can still sign up for! What the heck are you waiting for!?

It’s , and here are my current faves… edition. Sometimes I need a straight shot of crazy to my blood until it turns to seltzer 🍷 though

Even before this pandemic started, I’ve wanted to build a community around being “well enough”. Wellness for the imperfectly able-bodied. Wellness is a word we throw around a lot nowadays, but for each and every one of us, it means something so specific and different. Honestly...each day it means something different for me, each hour. Sometimes, I feel well enough to get dressed up in a hot pink blazer and learn a Tik Tok dance. Other days, I only feel well enough to get out of bed for food, water, and Ingrid cuddles. Being just enough for you is all that you can ask for, and it’s all that can be asked of you...especially today in this global pandemic. If any positivity can come out of this mess, it’s that we should all hold way more space for one another to be imperfect and to be .

Here’s Ingrid and me posing as our “Bed-In” muses. This week, on we are talking about the iconic @yokoonoofficial. We know her as an activist, artist, musician and filmmaker... and of course for her marriage to John Lennon. At the link in my bio, listen to @arnoldfriend6 and I deep dive into the woman that fanboys love to accuse of breaking up the Beatles, and the many reasons why she is much much more than that. on @hearluminary now!

Just craving human closeness, Ingrid tried to help.

My Covid Story

to feeling boppy and happy and . Doin’ it for the gram. And because I get sun once a day and when I do, I always dance.

Being alone doesn't mean I can't get all dressed up for the work week. This look was inspired by Beach Blanket Bingo, Gidget and every party I have ever declined attending in my history (there are a lot, but never again!)

A shot of one of my better days! Sometimes you have to just have to say f*** it, put on a your string bikini, and imagine that you’re a golddigger who created your own happy ending and is now giving all the cash you scored to the resistance behind your conserative husband's back.

In case you’ve missed it, we are on episode 3 of season 3 of . And so far, it has been…(yup you guessed it)...WORLDLY. This week @arnoldfriend6 and I are discussing the incredible -- the woman behind the monster, the mind that brought us Frankenstein. Her adult life was one hardship after the other, leaving her alone in the end. You won’t want to miss this one! And catch up on the rest of this season if you’re not already!

RIP Merci Mack. ❤️ This story breaks my heart as it reminds us that our Black trans sisters remain in danger. Merci’s death is believed to be at least the 18th known violent death of a transgender or gender non-conforming person this year in the U.S. That number is unacceptable and we need to hold it in our minds as we continue to ask officials to invest in protecting Black trans lives. If you can, please join me in donating to support Merci’s family. Their daughter loved baking cookies at home, relaxing in her hot tub and going to work at a local restaurant. They have lost a fully formed woman- let’s ease that burden in whatever way we can. The link is in my bio.
