You Still Need To Show Out with Tinaiya Tank
I know I say this every time...but THIS is a special episode! I have been trying to get Tinaiya Tank to sit down for a chat on the pod since the beginning! She did not disappoint. Ms. Tank shares her experiences with navigating through the world of Pro Dance Team, opens up about growing up in Lompoc, CA, reflects on our young sleepover nights, and even gives me some tips on becoming a plant parent. This remarkable, talented woman is a VERY dear friend, and I am more than happy to share with you all why that is. So, enjoy listening to us cackle, love, support, and maybe even get a little messy...

The Gooey, Yummy, Softness of the Cookie w/Chatiera Ray & LaRonica Southerland
This has been a season of a lot of firsts, and this episode is no exception! This week we have our first double-guest session with the 2 creators of the CRay Project. Try to keep up because this 3-way dialogue moves fast! Chatiera and LaRonica share stories of growing up in Ohio, their separate challenges in their undergrad program at Kent State, and how they cultivate an inclusive, welcoming space in their burlesque group PINS. The gloves are definitely off, and it gets brutally honest...so brace yourself for this raw and uncensored conversation.

Stolen Lightbulbs & The Freak Of Nature with Gia Calhoun [The Re-Retrace]
It's our 2nd Re-Retrace, and we're throwing it back again to an artist from yesteryear! True to form...we're keeping it Black! In 2021, we recorded this conversation where Gia Calhoun opened up about her struggles with finding her place in the dance world as a young light-skinned Black girl. She is poised, well-spoken, and elegant...but this chick has a silly side, too. She, also, has a perspective to share on implicit discrimination. Let's throw it back on this Thursday and practice some of those BAD dance moves!

RYS After Dark with Kirby Harrell aka Kirby La Brea
On this very special episode, we have a late night recording, appropriately, with Burlesque royalty, Kirby La Brea. We discuss an array of topics including his training at Debbie Allen Dance Academy, Queer Black representation in mainstream entertainment, his appearance on the OutTV reality competition "Gogo For The Gold," and highlights of his concert dance career. It's all family here, so we get comfortable, speak in our own language, and share a lot of love with an extra long warm up!
