Call Your Sister is a podcast for related and unrelated sisters or CYS everywhere co-hosted by Alexandra Hodge and Astrid Ferguson. Every week, Alex and Astrid call each other to discuss the complexities of motherhood, sisterhood, identity struggles, dating as a single mother, sex and much more. We’re real Latinx sisters who are fiercely opinionated, and not afraid to realtalk each other about everything from (men)strual cycles and body shaming to the Platanos versus Yuccas debates and current identity life drama. We highlight women who are both trying to keep it together and got it all figured out. We also care deeply about the lived experiences of BIPOC and Lantinx women who are just trying to get through the week. We’re here for every facet of women’s humanity because we are a community, a nation of CYS everywhere.

Did you know there are 107 different gender identities currently listed for 2023!? Would you consider people whose gender identity does not match assigned sex at birth as having gender dysphoria?

Sexual Assault Awareness Feat. Cousins Sheera & Yassy
This week Little Sis Alex, Cousins Sheera and Yassy have a roundtable conversation about Sexual Assault, Abusers, Guns and D.A.R.E. Listening in to the cousins discuss: do you think there is real accountability for sexual assault crimes? How does race and generation play a part? What about men and their assaults? Survivors can never forget the abuse they endured. They live with it everyday, do you think the same applies to the abuser? Do you believe abusers can change? Why or why not? Why do you think people are numb to abusers? Trey Songz for an example he is always on the news. What are your views on gun control? What D.A.R.E song did you sing growing up? The cousins are all over the place this week!
TG Warning: Sexual Assault
