In this episode of The Dugout, Jordan and Prince sit down with writer, critic, and cultural theorist Nia Òla for a conversation that cuts through the noise of online discourse and dives deep into the heart of radical education, identity, and political awakening. From growing up in the Bronx to becoming a powerful voice on platforms like TikTok and Substack, Nia shares how curiosity shaped their worldview—and why it remains a revolutionary force. This is Part 1 of 2.
We explore the complexities and realities of sex work, the emotional labor of politics online, the limits of freedom, and why “going outside and touching grass” is more than just a meme—it's a political call to action. With humor, vulnerability, and brilliant clarity, Nia helps us reimagine what it means to engage, educate, and resist in today’s cultural moment.
Whether you're new to these ideas or deep in the work, this is the kind of conversation that stays with you.
