    When I Think About My Life: an original poem for when you feel down.

    When I Think About My Life: an original poem for when you feel down.

    I need you here. Because you keep me strong. I have faith that we will make it through. Together.
    In this episode, I'm sharing an original piece I wrote for when you're feeling dark. For those times you feel hopeless and alone, for when you aren't sure what your purpose is or if life actually does get better.
    This is my love letter to you.

    I was decomposing. That's why I went MIA.

    I was decomposing. That's why I went MIA.

    Welp, I disappeared for a while there. You probably noticed. I was busy decomposing. Here's how I came back from the dead by literally tripping up Death, and a mysteriously vague hint at what was actually going on—some of which I've never talked about publicly (only Patreon folx get it). Also, some lessons I learned about going through major sh!t.

    I’m a nude life model. Here’s what that’s REALLY like. 💀

    Being an extra on the set of a major motion picture 😱

    Being an extra on the set of a major motion picture 😱

    I was an extra in a major motion picture that I can’t talk about yet. In this episode, I’ll tell you all about my experience: rehearsing with face masks, waking up at 3 am for an early call time, and throwing my guts up in the middle of it all. Glamorous. Hey, it’s life. I got back out there anyway. Just sucks that I couldn’t eat any of the delicious vegan food they provided. // This episode was sponsored by Sarah!

    Hot Chocolate with Phavie, Episode 05: Applying for jobs as a black person: photo or no? Also, how to be a better friend to black folx.

    Hot Chocolate with Phavie, Episode 05: Applying for jobs as a black person: photo or no? Also, how to be a better friend to black folx.

    THE FINALE: Episode 05 of HOT CHOCOLATE WITH PHAVIE! 🌞 In this episode, Phavie shares her experiences in applying for jobs, particularly a certain experience here in New Zealand. Has removing her photo and neighborhood from her resume made a difference in getting responses from potential employers? Also, she opens up about a scarring racist experience hitchhiking. This one busted my mind. I’m at a loss for words, knowing that one of my closest friends, one of the best people I’ve ever met, has been treated so disrespectfully. By a CHILD. // To end the episode, Phavie gives us some advice for how non-black people can be better friends to black folx: LISTEN. // ABOUT THE SERIES: From February–June 2020, I lived with Phavie, a fellow traveler here in New Zealand. She’s become one of my closest friends and before her journey back home, I wanted to have a conversation with her about her experiences with racism as a Congolese-French person. // 🍁 Support The Videmus Podcast on Patreon and get juicy dark secrets: patreon.com/videmusart // ☕️ Find us everywhere @videmusart // 💀 Into dark humor?

    Hot Chocolate with Phavie, Episode 04: Apple packhouse during quarantine (part 02)

    Episode 04 of HOT CHOCOLATE WITH PHAVIE! 🌞 In this episode, we dive into the strange events at our job working night shift at an apple pack house over the New Zealand-wide Alert Level 4 in May 2020. Hearing Phavie’s perspective as a POC taught me so much; she noticed discriminatory behaviour way before I did. Phavie shares the micro-aggressions she faced from day ONE of the job—which I didn’t even see, even though I was working only 2 meters away from her. // ABOUT THE SERIES: For the last 4 months I’ve lived with Phavie, a fellow traveler here in New Zealand. She’s become one of my closest friends and before her journey back home, I wanted to have a conversation with her about her experiences with racism as a Congolese-French person. // 🍁 Support The Videmus Podcast on Patreon and get juicy dark secrets: patreon.com/videmusart // ☕️ Find us everywhere @videmusart // 💀 Into dark humor?
