Coming Out is a Journey
*Trigger Warning* this episode is for mature listeners only because it discusses sexual abuse and other violent experiences in relationships. Let us celebrate Pride month even during these hard times that we are currently experiencing. The Black Lives Matter movement is influenced by the LGBTQ+ community. Pamela talks about her experience of why it is important to be safe when dating with a disability. She also acknowledges that coming out is an intense journey for some people and that should be respected. It is important to bring awareness when you are disabled and part of the LGBTQ+. So it can be difficult to be part of the LGBTQ+ Pride Month activities because those spaces are usually not accessible for the disabled community. Beat produced and edited by @miniproducer.

Woke For Clout
This episode is about the importance of realizing what truly makes someone racist. Black Lives Matter isn't new and some people are treating it as if it is. I suggest books such as "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander and "Racism Without Racist" by Eduardo Bonilla Silva. Lastly, I discuss the documentary "Harvest Empire" to understand racism and colourism in the LatinX community.
