Qariwarmi is a podcast created by and for the queer BIPOC community, to be unapolegitcally ourselves. Our identities are complex and none of us fit neatly into a single category. We are here to share parts of our lives, identities and discuss our intersectionality as well as current events. Qariwarmi was the term used for the third-gender and androgynous shamans, in the Inca Empire. Here, we celebrate our roots, honor our ancestors and break down colonialism.
Anya- queer, radical environmentalist, slut, biracial and settler accomplice
Anya and I talk about being a settler accomplice in illegally occupied Hawai’i, living in a multi-racial, multi-generational home, intersectionality and the problems with eco-colonialism, the safety concerns and fears that we experience as we come out, and the ways we take back our sensuality to liberate ourselves and protect our resources. There is explicit language and discussions about sex in this episode, so beware of listening with a little one.
