Welcome to a special episode in which Black Professional Merfolk discuss their lives on land and under the sea.
The hashtag #MerfolkforBlackLives was started on Instagram by Mermaid Che Monique. Since her original post on June 3, 2020, the Mer community has really taken up that call to discuss why the Black Lives Matter movement is important to them and the hashtag now has hundreds of posts on social media.
This episode is a partial replay of an event hosted by Mermaid Chè Monique on Facebook Live and recorded for The Mermaid Podcast. In this conversation, Mermaid Chè Monique is joined by Mermaid JessaLee, Blixunami, Caribbean Pearl, Fernando Delequoix and Keeva Queen Mercorn. The Mermaid Podcast thanks these mer-friends for their time and generosity in sharing their experiences. The full replay can be found on Mermaid Che Monique’s Facebook Page and on YouTube.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
