Queer Conscious Podcast

Have you ever felt hurt by someone you love? I’m sure we all have but there’s something particularly hurtful about queer on queer crime.

I’m sitting down with Yinka Freeman — a powerhouse entrepreneur and community leader — as she shares her story of hurt by the very community she set out to serve.

We’re talking about what it feels like when the people you thought would have your back... don't. About the heartbreak, the anger— a...

You are not behind — because queer people don’t follow timelines. We rewrite them.

In this episode we discuss Second Adolescence — that beautiful, chaotic, and sometimes slutty season of queer self-discovery that most of us didn’t get to have the first time around. We talk talk about why this phase is essential, not immature. And we break down how internalized shame, religious trauma, and societal scripts keep us from exploring our ...

One of the biggest questions I wanted to answer with my podcast is how to keep our hearts open. It is too easy, especially for the LGBTQ+ community to close ourselves off from loving someone because the risk of losing it is all too real. And we've all experienced grief in some way. One moment you’re fine… and the next, a song, a smell, or a grocery store aisle takes you out...

Performance anxiety is no joke and can show up in so many different ways depending on your gender, upbringing, and education and no, it’s not just a later in life thing. Whether it’s nerves, pressure, or a total mental spiral, it can turn what’s supposed to be a fun, intimate moment into something you’d rather avoid… And for the LGBTQ+ community, the lack of real sex education only makes things harder—or, you know… not.

In this conv...
