Today's world can be a lot to process, so every week we take major themes in the world of politics and pop-culture and dissect them in a way that is educational, engaging and a little bit queer.
The Financial Power of Representation (with P.S. Kaguya)
In this episode, we are tawking with a trailblazing Korean-American artist, plus-size model, content creator, and cannabis entrepreneur P.S. Kaguya (https://www.instagram.com/p.s.kaguya/), whose uniqueness is not only helping her carve out her own path, but also open doors and provide financial opportunities for others like her. Kaguya shares her personal story of overcoming abuse and rejection, and together Maxim and Kaguya take a deep dive into why representation is an economic issue, how the fashion industry has been changing, Avril Lavigne's influence on early 2000s queer culture, being canceled, and why it is time that we embrace drug-consumption and create safer ways for people to have access to substances.

Pushing the Boundaries of Being a Queer Artist (with AJA)
Our guest this week is an iconic and multi-talented musician and artist Aja (https://www.instagram.com/ajathekween/). Known to the world as a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 and All-Stars 3, Aja was catapulted into international fame as a drag queen. Since then, Aja has quit drag, came out as non-binary, and released two studio albums, including their newest sophomore album The Crown (https://open.spotify.com/album/1cPF0Lik7NzzRuUs7lNln6), which came out this May.
As we break down the album, Aja tawks about the process of creating such a vulnerable and eclectic album during a pandemic, who were their musical inspirations growing up and how they dealt with the public transition from a drag artist to a musician, as well as dishing on racists fans, Nicki Minaj and always standing up for themselves.
The Crown is available to stream on all platforms.
