Show notes

Are you trying to be someone you're sexually not? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with asexual storyteller and author of 'Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture' Sherronda J Brown about the ways compulsory sexuality has shaped and harmed our sexualities. Sherronda talks about how compulsory sexuality shows up in our world, its links to systemic oppression (like ableism, racism, and fatphobia), and how we can see asexuality as a queer identity to radically reject it.

In this one, Ev’Yan speaks with Melissa Carnagey (she/they) about what it means + how to raise sex positive kids.

68. Who Is Wellness For? May 24, 2022

Show notes

What does the word “wellness” even mean anymore? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks to poet, artist, and author, Fariha Roisin, about self-care, collective healing, wellness culture, and this question, "Who is wellness for?"—also the title of Fariha's soon-to-be-released book. Fariha shines light on the “wellness industrial complex” and how consumerism and capitalism have disconnected us from what it truly means for us to be well. They also speak about messy, non-linear processes of healing, the ways can interrogate our own participation in wellness culture, and the things that keep Fariha feeling well in her own body.

Ev’Yan also makes an announcement about the show.
