QueerWOC of the Week 00:11:30
Poet, Activist, and Bisexual Baddie June Jordan

Mental Moment with Money 00:27:45
Inspired by the Dear Headspace Podcast - I love Robin Hopkins!
R- Recognize what is happening
A- Allow the feeling to be there, do not try to force it to change
I- Investigate with care I SAID INVESTIGATE, not INTELLECTUALIZE
N- Name and nurture: can you put words to this feeling? What do you need? If someone else named that they felt that way, what would you give them?


Topic: Book, Bop, Bummer 00:39:45
I owe Glorilla an apology… she is so much more than a social media rapper, shes a hitmaker!
“Love yourself” is not an adequate response to feeling isolated/lacking community!
