    Gemining on Masculinity: Values, Vulnerability & Validation

    If it isn’t obvious…the boys are lonely. In this episode, Beatrice Oshodi, your new favorite Gemini and Jill of all trades, joins me to explore masculinity, emotional homes, and the contradictions —power and tenderness, silence and expression—that shape male loneliness and connection.

    Just a Dash is Back! (Bonus Episode)

    Surprise! Just a Dash is back. In this bonus episode, my best friend and co-producer JP flips the mic and interviews me about the hiatus, what’s changed, and why it felt like the right time to return. A little reflection, a lot of honesty, and a proper reintroduction before we dive back in. You ready?

  3. What's In a Name?

    FEB 10

    What's In a Name?

    Names help us feel like we belong within our communities, and more importantly, within ourselves. So what happens if that's not the case? What happens when our names make us feel alienated or out of place? And what happens when we reclaim them in effort to feel more at home within our bodies?

    Just a...Saturn's Return!

    Y'all, we have finally arrived at the end of Season 1 & yes, you can blame my Saturn's Return for the delay. Get an earful of nostalgia as I reminisce on  this season and what turning 30 means to me. Plus, I get back to the OG inspiration for the show – asking strangers intimate questions! A special guest also joins me in The Rec Room to chat about Throuple, the movie you'll be highly anticipating post- listen – now go hit play (; Time stamps available below.  Word To The Wise: 14:07 Say What: 33:18 Rec Room: 1:24:29

  5. Let's Talk About Sex, Baby!

    Let's Talk About Sex, Baby!

    In the land of hook-ups, it's complicated and down for anything, how should we tackle conversations about sexual expectations, boundaries and non-verbal cues? While sex has a missionary position, the topic itself is far from basic. My fabulous roommates –  Molly LeGrow, Brendan Brown, and Ximone a.k.a Thee Lord Scorpio – join me for a spicy, insightful and mindful discussion on sex...and we cover quite a bit – from emerging fetishes to navigating intimacy to sexed. Plus, I share a couple hot takes on the latest miscarriages of justice, and the importance of nurturing your energy into a new era of self-care! Trigger Warning: This episode contains some subject material related to sexual assault.

  6. I'm Blackity-Black-Black

    I'm Blackity-Black-Black

    Claiming one's racial identity can be life-affirming, but it's also a labyrinth shaped by misguided social constructs. One of those tricky constructs? Colorism. Your new fave Virgo, Dawnette Samuels, joins me to explores the history of this expansive topic, and its influence within a variety of industries.  Plus, a reflection on what it means to turn 30, a Word to the Wise that will leave you motivated and a few recommendations to keep that Summer feeling going. Tune in, sweet peas.

    Don't Be a Drag, Just Be a Queen

    Let's have a kiki! Whether you're new to LGBTQ+ culture or Pride is your time to shine, there's no denying that Drag Queens have entered the mainstream. My two special guests help me break down the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race  & the influence of this art form at large.  Plus,  a humanitarian outlook on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict & a PSA for the men of NYC*. *Disclaimer: If the tea doesn't apply to you, don't let it get you hot, sweet pea.

    I'm a MF Star...Girl

    I always say we're made of stardust, sweet peas, but in this episode...you'll learn exactly what I mean! My astrological guru and literal sis, Naika Gabriel, joins me to discuss why the question "what's your sign?" is just the tip of the iceberg. Also on the discussion board: My take on the mask-free mandate, Billie Eilish & Chris Brown – specifically – why is this man still famous?!?
