Comedian Amanda Van Nostrand has some questions and she needs answers. On I have a question! Amanda explores society's less popular and sensitive subject matter through a comedic lens with the guidance of experts, politicians, lawyers, and activists.
Working On My Fitness with Ashley Lentz, MS, MEd, ACSM, Founder and Executive Director of the Aunt Sister Project
When it comes to personal fitness, it turns out that one size does not fit all.
This week Amanda is joined by personal trainer, Founder and Executive Director of the Aunt Sister Project - Ashley Lentz.
Ashley has over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry and discusses with Amanda the importance of community, doing what feels good to you, and the fundamentals of understanding your own body. Spoiler: turns out not everyone is built the same!
Ashley explains the six things that you should do while exercising to make it effective, and just because something has made its way into the fitness world, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Ashley and Amanda also explore Ashley’s mission to bring exercise to those diagnosed with cancer and cancer survivors through her non-profit The Aunt Sister Project.

Sustainability and Ethics in Fashion with Kevin Robert Fernandez, Kevin Robert Designs
The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful industries in the world, making up roughly 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, it is the second largest consumer of water worldwide, and 85% of textiles end up in landfills every year. How can we change that and what is the difference between ethics and sustainability?
This week Amanda is joined by Kevin Robert Fernandez of Kevin Robert Designs, artist, designer and stylist based in Brooklyn. After realizing he enjoyed getting dressed for his job in criminal psychology more than the job itself, it was time to reevaluate and pursue what he was actually passionate about--fashion and design inspired by waste reduction and sustainability.
Amanda and Kevin talk thrift store shopping, developing your own style, and determining what stands out to each individual as far as ethical practices and what we can do on our own to support our personal missions. Everyone is capable of ethical practice, but it does require commitment. What companies actually have a good recycling program and what prevents others from participating in one at all (side eye to luxury brands).

Do You Wanna? Consent Education with Aela Mansmann, SafeBAE
Turns out consent doesn't only apply to sexual situations. At the root of it, consent is really about permission.
This week Amanda is joined by Aela Mansmann, peer educator with SafeBAE - Safe Before Anyone Else. Aela breaks down common misconceptions about consent (annoying, mood ruining, and lame) versus what it actually means. What is coercion? Why is sex so tied up in our ego? Spoiler alert: we should be talking about it much sooner than we are. Unfortunately, it's not students taking issue with it, it's our administrations and school systems. Oh, and it turns out, porn isn't doing us a lot of favors, either.
Aela shares her personal experience with consent activism and how she became involved with the program. Consent revolves around personal boundaries and relying on our own intuition where the only clear message is: consent is not one size fits all and enthusiastic participation is paramount. Grey comes in many shades, let's get to know them better.
SafeBAE is a survivor founded, student led organization that came to fruition after the 2016 documentary 'Audrie and Daisy' appeared on Netflix. The documentary chronicles several teenage women's rape cases and their outcomes.
