  1. A Conversation: Black Fetish Energy: Stigma, Sex, and the Black Queer Man

    A Conversation: Black Fetish Energy: Stigma, Sex, and the Black Queer Man

    It's been such a long time since I cracked this mic open. I plan on doing another podcast real soon to catch up and chat about what's been going on in this crazy world. In the meantime, I wanted to share a conversation I recently filmed with Ryan and William of Equitas Health, entitled “Black Fetish Energy: Stigma, Sex, and the Black Queer Man.”  It's a really compelling look into what it is like to be a minority using dating apps and if you recall from our previous episodes, I never had a shortage of dating tales to share. So even if you aren't a member of the LGBT community, and hell, even if you are pasty, I think listening to other people's life experiences facilitates a little something called empathy and lord knows we need more of that! --- The Swirl is produced, mixed and edited by Kodi Seaton.

The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … the pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.” — Henri J.M. Nouwen (Kodi’s pick)31:53 -- SHOW CLOSE / CREDITS ARTICLES REFERENCED IN EPISODE: https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/if-youre-a-black-woman-whos-tired-of-white-people-askin-1820505693http://madamenoire.com/1005574/iyanla-explains-why-she-recently-ended-her-14-year-relationship/ The Swirl is produced by Kodi Seaton & Stephanie Ruby.
