On this episode Xay Dé briefly covers some recent events circling around the concept of Respectability Politics! In what ways this construct negatively impacts people of color, LGBTQAI+ people, and women/AFAB people … how it gaslights those marginalized communities into thinking that they have the ability to match the standards put in place by White Supremacy. She also ties this concept into Halle Bailey portraying Ariel in the new Disney “The Little Mermaid” film, and the passing of the Queen of England, Elizabeth the second.

Smith, the founder and owner of For Your Fries Only, a VERY successful restaurant business based in Ohio! You definitely need to check it out! This episode is a bit different from the ones in the past, although it crucial to have multiple views and opinions! These two discuss the complicated relationships between Black, Trans Women & the Black Men who wish to pursue them!

On this episode we are joined by family! Mikey & Xay Dé interview their sister, a beautiful makeup artist, a cosplay queen, and anime enthusiast - Niki Nami!! Mikey & Niki grew up together on the Southside of Chicago and have shared so many beautiful experiences. Making a bold choice, she decided to change her life, and moved across the world to teach English to kids in South Korea! While there her love for anime grew, as well as her interest in makeup and cosplay! We discuss the art form of cosplay and how racism & misogyny find their way into this world as well.
