This week, Nadine and Kate talk to LA based entrepreneur, speaker and consultant Lizzy Okoro Palafox on the second volume of DefiningWomxn. They discuss everything under the sun around Okoro's journey while establishing herself as a creative leader in the media. This episode unpacks.... a lot. Education and how it can affect our view of the world, how to show up for our communities, intersectional feminism, and so much more. With Okoro's experience in business and her motivation to make a difference, this episode is a unique peek into a bigger conversation of taking steps toward justice. You can connect with Lizzy at lizzyokoro.com or @lizzyokoro. BLACK LIVES MATTER. JUSTICE FOR BREONNA. BUY BLACK. PS. You can get the deliciously cheesy, eggy, bready Khachapuri at Pizza Boy.

On this episode of DopeWomxn, Nadine and Kate are joined by friend of the pod, Baby! They were also featured on the very first volume of DefiningWomxn, so go listen to that first if you haven't heard it yet. Since every month is Pride Month at DWHQ, it's never the wrong time to tell the stories of these 3 revolutionary womxn: Stormé DeLarverie, Marcia P Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera. These three kweens were integral to the Stonewall Riots of 1968. Nadine, Kate and Baby dive into their stories and how each is pivotal in the liberation movement for the LGBTQ+ community in the now so-called United States. Pride started as a protest. Pride IS a protest. The black queer and trans community was at the forefront of the riots and we have to continue to amplify their stories, show up and then do more.

DopeWomxn go live on IG again this week where Nadine and Kate share the stories of Barbara May Cameron (Hunkpapa Lakota) and Rigoberta Menchú (Quiché Maya). These stories of indigenous women in the US and Guatemala are impressive, powerful, and galvanizing. Cameron was an unstoppable organizer and champion for Indigenous rights, LGBT rights, and women's rights. Menchú is to this day a vigorous leader in the fight to promote and protect Indigenous rights internationally. *TRIGGER WARNING* Torture, murder, rape. PS Kate has some strange kinetic energy that seems to break the electronics around her, so audio's a little rough again. Hashtagcovidstrugglesinproduction.

Introducing a new series-within-a-series (how meta) to ask and answer challenging, sometimes uncomfortable, questions around the gender spectrum. Why do pronouns matter? How has language evolved within and around the gender fluid community? While we can have the best of intentions, language is constantly changing. We all make mistakes. Sometimes it can get frustrating, but what if we said “thank you for the correction” instead of “I'm sorry” or “well that's too confusing”? Nadine and Kate are joined by Baby (Queer as Punk) to begin unpacking an ongoing conversation with these questions and more. The trio go way back! Join them for this bite sized chat.
