Blue became more than just a pet for Issa, and she even credits him for saving her life. she explains the immense impact Blue had, and how his sweetness even tricked her into thinking she might want to be a vet.

finding mental clarity after burnout and depression Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

you met Darius last week when we unpacked our past hookup – this week, we’re changing gears and digging deep on the subject of mental health and how it relates to community. i’m a believer that therapy can heal and Darius is too–now having completed 10 months with his therapist he talks realizing his depression, the burnout that sent him escaping from the country, talking with kids about social and emotional learning in his professional life, and why you should “speed date” to find the right therapist.

So, we hooked up... Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

many of you have seen my boyfriend on my social media, but what you don’t know is that just hours before i met him, i woke up in bed with my close friend, Darius Baxter. Darius and i decided its time to unpack that night where we found ourselves hooking up and how one simple move in the bedroom prompted a day-after conversation that would ultimately change the way we interact with sexual partners and push us to consider what consent looks and feels like for us as individuals.

Saving face: learning to open up, publicly Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

*CW: This episode includes mentions of CSA and self-harm. i’ve personally struggled with drugs and alcohol as a method of escapism from trauma and ptsd. activist, organizer, and model jeannie jay park can relate, after going through own complicated journey with substance abuse & coping with trauma. but one of the most important things we’ve both learned is that sometimes you have to open your mouth to save your ass, so we’re ready to speak publicly about just how challenging its been and what we’re doing to take care of ourselves now that we have a greater understanding of the places we’ve been and the ways we’ve been conditioned.

Bad Asian? Badass Asian. Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

I grew up feeling like a ‘bad asian’ – but connecting with asian-american activists who fight for racial equality and representation has transformed my belief on what it means to me to be asian-american. Jeannie Jay Park had her own complicated journey with her asian-american identity, which ultimately led her from modeling to activism and organizing, which we get into in today’s conversation. Jeannie takes us back to her childhood where she first witnessed her korean heritage interacting with whiteness, the internalized racism that manifested in her life, and how she confronted that racism, began to heal the trauma, and uses it to push forward in her activism. Follow along with Jeannie on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jeanniejaypark/?hl=en Executive Producers: Nadya Okamoto, Adell Coleman, Brittany Temple Senior Producer: Quinton Hill Producer: Kelsey Klein, Larry Shapiro, Kacey Lee and Maiqi Qin Distributor: DCP Entertainment Learn more about your ad choices.
