<p>Marjani Lane (@marjanilane) is one of the most well-known Black polyamorous educators and is a hugely important voice in the community when it comes to pro-Black polyamorous activism. To round off this season, we discuss Marjani’s life as a queer, disabled polyamorist, as well as several controversial, hard-hitting issues in the Black polyamorous and polygamous communities:</p> <p>- why Marjani believes that people can be polyamorous cheaters, and that solo polyamory is a life philosophy rather than a specific lifestyle</p> <p>- how Marjani’s physical disabilities and diagnoses of ASPD and OCPD affect how they practice polyamory</p> <p>- The distinction between fluid bonding and fluid exchange, and how some Black polyamorists do not feel that mainstream polyamory terms were made for them or with them in mind</p> <p>- How the Black community’s idea of polygyny and the goal of “building an empire” to “save” the Black community ultimately tie back to white supremacy, misogynoir and a struggle with identity and acceptance</p> <p>- Queerphobia and ableism in the polyamorous community, and how the idea of “usefulness” serves a pro-capitalist, pro-natalist agenda that comes at the expense of the marginalised</p> <p>and much more.</p> <p><a href="https://www.polyphilia.blog/podcast/14-marjanilane'">EPISODE TRANSCRIPT</a></p> <p>FOLLOW US:</p> <p>Leanne (@polyphiliablog): <a href="https://instagram.com/polyphiliablog">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://facebook.com/polyphiliablog">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://tiktok.com/@polyphiliablog">Tiktok</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/polyphiliablog">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/polyphilia">Youtube</a> | <a href="https://patreon.com/polyphiliablog">Patreon</a> | <a href="https://polyphilia.blog/">Website</a> | <a href="https://polyphiliashop.redbubble.com/">Shop</a></p> <p>Marjani (@marjanilane): <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marjanilane/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://clubhousedb.com/user/marjanilane">Clubhouse</a> | <a href="https://tiktok.com/@marjanilane">Tiktok</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/themarjanilane">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.marjanilane.com/">Website</a></p>
