Queer Collective Podcast

Does Nudity belong at Pride? We deep-dive into a wild whirlpool of thought-provoking topics: the untamed history of nudity's stigmatization, whether nudity and Pride have a passionate connection, and the uproarious debate on public nudity making us look 'bad.' Discover the dazzling reasons why bodies aren't innately sexual, and why consent takes center stage. Join us in a liberating celebration of body positivity, freedom, and family-friendliness. Enjoy!

Curious about the black trans experience? We are joined by Ms. Myles to explore topics such as self-discovery, trans joy, gender affirming care, the intersection of race & gender, healing your inner child, & finding community. We recently connected with Ms. Myles through our upcoming short film, Turning Heads Vol. II, where she will be featured as one of our MUAs. During that process, we found her to be so well spoken and knew there was so much more of her story that needed to be shared. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. MS.

Is therapy-speak taking over our relationships? Licensed therapists are using social media to spread valuable knowledge, but therapy-speak can also create communication barriers when used out of context. We uncover how this language can be misused and weaponized, creating barriers to authentic connection. Plus, we discuss the danger of over-protecting boundaries to the point of loneliness and the vital role of community in building resilience. We hope our experiences and solutions will guide you in navigating therapy-speak in your daily conversations. Don't let jargon get in the way of your relationships. Enjoy!

How important are BIPOC-specific spaces within the larger queer community, and should white people be allowed in?

We also discuss the alarming trend of disappearing queer spaces, particularly those dedicated to marginalized members of the community, and explore ways we can support the creation and sustainability of these spaces.

Internalized homophobia is something that many of us in the LGBTQ+ community have to work through in order to fully embrace our true selves.

In this episode, we share personal experiences, tackle internalized homophobia and offer tips to help you overcome negative thoughts that hold you back from embracing your fabulous, audacious queerness.

Our society's self-esteem is being destroyed by gender norms that dictate what it means to be "masculine" or "feminine," starting from our earliest moments of life. These norms have a profound impact on our perception of self, particularly regarding body image and sexual identity.
