Just Happy To Be Here

Some ideas, passages, and ramblings from Heaven's Net is Wide, by Lian Hearn, comprised of Mental Mukbang segment and a telling of some personal truths in my Unicorn Tales segment.

We immerse ourselves in personal divinity and feminine energy in all its intricacies and facets. Blessed by the poetry written and read aloud by the author herself! And Surprise, my dea3 friend Bethany stopped by as well to lend us her experience. This episode is full of love and magic and exploration.

I traveled to Los Angeles for a guest spot on @lestalkradio with @chelleychellesig and to connect with soooooo many inspiring and dope asf queer womxn of color. These folks are curating spaces for a demographic that often finds it hard to just BE in the spaces available, and to be more wholly understood. In addition to recounting my charmed visit, I delve deeply into a shorty story in the "Bloodchild" collection, called The Evening and the Morning And the Night. It's a reading of an hour and some, so skip to the last segment if you're not up for that just yet.

Today, an answer to Question 2 of 30: Why so Distant? A listener in know personally asked this question weeks ago, and in answering, being the most trasnparant and vulnerable, I came to compose this sort of love letter to someone special. An ode to who and what they are to me, an ode to women who love women, and an ode to love in the Grey Area. This is also the first appearance of our Unicorn Tales segment! Much poetry discussed and digested.

In the spirit of those gone before us, Community, and ancestry, join myself and @yodevg (Devon Ginn) as we explore the concept of ancestry, specifically of the black and brown and how our displacement into America makes it difficult for us to find those ancestors accessible. We hope you enjoy our Autocorrect, or "Found" poetry and that the mental mukbang we serve up is not only digestible, but delectable with a reading from Kuukuwa Andam's article titled, in part, "You're so terrified of the deities that your ancestors worhsipped...".
