DopeWomxn DopeWomxn

We’re here, we’ve been doin it, and now we need to chill. Here’s a little button of a snippet of something to round out the inaugural season of DopeWomxn. Woot woot! Just as we launched this thing with a sizzle, we’re going to continue using cooking analogies and let our gorgeous “cake” cool. Give this a listen to get the DL on the analogy.

If you wanna keep in touch, hit us up on IG, FB, and Twitter @dopewomxn. You can also send us an email at dopewomxn@gmail.com for press and other inquiries.

In the meantime, share this with all the dope folx in your life! And if you get all caught up, feel free to watch and read the referenced resources in each episode. If you like what you hear, there’s so so so so so much more out there. #readmore #domore #dobetter

This week, Nadine and Kate talk to LA based entrepreneur, speaker and consultant Lizzy Okoro Palafox on the second volume of DefiningWomxn. They discuss everything under the sun around Okoro’s journey while establishing herself as a creative leader in the media.

This episode unpacks.... a lot. Education and how it can affect our view of the world, how to show up for our communities, intersectional feminism, and so much more. With Okoro’s experience in business and her motivation to make a difference, this episode is a unique peek into a bigger conversation of taking steps toward justice.

You can connect with Lizzy at lizzyokoro.com or @lizzyokoro.

BLACK LIVES MATTER. JUSTICE FOR BREONNA. BUY BLACK.

PS. You can get the deliciously cheesy, eggy, bready Khachapuri at Pizza Boy.

On this episode of DopeWomxn, Nadine and Kate are joined by friend of the pod, Baby! They were also featured on the very first volume of DefiningWomxn, so go listen to that first if you haven’t heard it yet.

Since every month is Pride Month at DWHQ, it’s never the wrong time to tell the stories of these 3 revolutionary womxn: Stormé DeLarverie, Marcia P Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera. These three kweens were integral to the Stonewall Riots of 1968. Nadine, Kate and Baby dive into their stories and how each is pivotal in the liberation movement for the LGBTQ+ community in the now so-called United States. Pride started as a protest. Pride IS a protest. The black queer and trans community was at the forefront of the riots and we have to continue to amplify their stories, show up and then do more.

DopeWomxn go live on IG again this week where Nadine and Kate share the stories of Barbara May Cameron (Hunkpapa Lakota) and Rigoberta Menchú (Quiché Maya). These stories of indigenous women in the US and Guatemala are impressive, powerful, and galvanizing. Cameron was an unstoppable organizer and champion for Indigenous rights, LGBT rights, and women’s rights. Menchú is to this day a vigorous leader in the fight to promote and protect Indigenous rights internationally. *TRIGGER WARNING* Torture, murder, rape.

PS Kate has some strange kinetic energy that seems to break the electronics around her, so audio’s a little rough again. Hashtagcovidstrugglesinproduction.

On this LIVE episode of DopeWomxn, Nadine and Kate share the stories of Ava DuVernay and Tarana Burke. DopeWomxn is committed to supporting and uplifting Black stories, and these 2 ah-may-zing Black womxn are seriously kicking butt and taking names. DuVernay is an award winning director and producer; Burke is the founder of the #MeToo movement and a trailblazer in advocacy for black/indigenous/women of color… and that’s literally just scratching the surface! Follow them on their social media platforms to stay updated on their upcoming work and projects. *TRIGGER WARNING* Sexual abuse and assault. 

PS Kate’s computer totally zoinked out so the audio may be a little different on this one.

On this episode of DopeWomxn, Nadine and Kate tell the story of Annie Cannon and Bessie Coleman; two womxn who take to the skies pushing boundaries and paving the way for astrologists and pilots alike. Kate also drinks too much coffee and Nadine handles her non-sequiturs like a dope womxn does.

Correction Corner: Kate said quesadillas towards the end of this episode when she really meant tortillas. Kate is lactose intolerant and doesn’t eat quesadillas anymore :(
