This episode talks about self acceptance in the form of forgiveness, the things that happened and alot of softnesssss.

In celebrating a year of growth and podcasting we talk about the realization that i should be me loving me.

I am glad to have something out for the first quarter of the year! This episode is about an experience i had that has let me realise i seriously need to put up boundaries for myself

So this episode is just me being grateful to and for my listeners plus a little short story!

I'm a savage, not classy, certainly not boujie, but hella NASTYYYY!

defenestration /ˌdiːfɛnɪˈstreɪʃ(ə)n/ noun 1. the action of throwing someone out of a window. 2. the action or process of dismissing someone from a position of power or authority. "that victory resulted in Churchill's own defenestration by the war-weary British electorate" DEFENESTRAIGHTION= 1. The act of throwing the straights out of the window 2. the act of dismissing the straights!

I look back and I realise yes. I have always been queer. My existence know no other form. And to be honest I live it here! I mean yes, it's difficult being queer, but I still am. May it also be noted that from the 17-24 of may has been and shall continue to be Pride Week in Kenya!!! It has and shall continue to be such a beautiful, necessary experience! I live it. The love the idea behind it. I just love it!!!!

Let me just help you understand a little bit better. So the term cis gender means that a person identifies as the sex they were assigned at birth. The term transgender means that a person identifies differently from the sex they were assigned at birth. The term gender binary refers to the idea that there are only two gender (female, male.) The term non binary binary refutes the idea that the individual belongs to just those two binary genders. However this does not mean that there aren't other identities that don't fall into the category of non binary. Non binary people mostly identify with the pronouns they/them. Also, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ASK SOMEONE WHAT PRONOUNS THEY WANT TO BE ADDRESSED BY. Anyway

How can we thrive in a society that believes there is a weaker sex?

I'm angry because I am not allowed to be myself just so that I can make you feel comfortable. I am angry because why does what I look like, what I wear, how I speak, etc have to be decided by people who are not me. I am angry. Okay. Just angry!

Karibu is Swahili for Welcome. So I welcome you to my space, to Afroqueesiac, to me and who I am through the podcast. This episode is descriptive of what I intended for the podcast and I sincerely hope you are captivated enough to join me through this journey. ❤ peace and inspiration from me to you!
