    Shady Politics

    As we are ALL still reeling from the results of the 2020 presidential election, our QPOC fam dissects the early returns, shares how they participated in this year’s election, and discuss what the future of the political world is looking like for us. We also take time to celebrate the many LGBTQ+ folks who recently won both local and national elections in the U.S. We might not have had the “Blue Wave” we were hoping for, but we definitely got some kind of rainbow wave.

    WAP: Black Woman Empowerment

    Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me...that’s right y’all, today we are talking about none other than the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit “WAP”! And as a song that celebrates Black Woman empowerment, there’s plenty to cover: the double-standard of men versus women being sexual, the debate over where the song empowers or degrades women, and of course the tired-ass “what about the kids” argument. This week, Ashley and Carlos co-host as our own Cardi and Megan, and we are joined by TWO special guest femme-cees, Chantel Whitt (@chantelwhitt) and Isake Smith (@isakesmith).

    Bob the Drag Queen and Performing Performance

    It's a This QPOC Life summer special with none other than Bob the Drag Queen! The Black Lives Matter movement has taken center stage in the national conversation in America. And as many White people (and brands, sports teams, etc.) are “waking up” to the ills of systemic racism, we can’t help but wonder if it’s real or if it’s all for show.  On today’s episode, we discuss performative “wokeness” that we are seeing in the culture, how to spot it, and what to do when confronted by it. Then, we interview with Bob The Drag Queen, winner of season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, about her recent comedy special Bob The Drag Queen, Live At Caroline’s, and discuss how she performs activism through her drag and comedy. Bob the Drag Queen, Live at Caroline's is available on the iTunes store!  GROW THE COMMUNITY If you believe in the work we are doing, invest in our success, become a Patron on Patreon!
