Articles and quotes:

“Perhaps more than anything, though, women are simply under-educated about masturbation. High school sex ed classes very rarely teach students about the anatomy of the vagina—or clitoris—or even mention pleasure.”

“This way of treating female sexuality as a taboo throughout history has served as a way of exerting control over women, taking advantage of the way they are alienated and even ashamed from their own bodies”

Ep.24 "The African in You They Tried to Erase" Jun 16, 2020

Hello my beautiful people, now that we as a society are discussing and confronting anti-blackness in our society and cultures, we thought it would be an appropriate time for us to dissect and question this very issue. In "The African in You They Tried to Erase", we highlight the history of both Afro-Mexicans and Afro-Colombians and how in the world it took a pandemic, national wide protests and the Afro-Latinx movement for us to talk about the importance of black people in our cultures. Take a shot every time we sigh, yell, and stumble on our words in disbelief on what we found - we got really passionate! We also added a link in our linktree for all things Black Lives Matter, so go check that out!

Ep.23 "Imma Eat That Doughnut, YEAH" May 27, 2020

Hello, my fellow meat bags! In this week's episode we dive into our relationships with food and body image. We dissect what it's like to have a not so healthy relationship with food and our bodies during quarantine, it gets a little serious and kinda sad to be honest, but it's a conversation that must be had! We hope you guys find comfort in our discussion and you leave with a better perspective!
