Peeeeps it's a whole vibe right now,  I'm joined by one of Londons biggest POC LGBT+ club nights Ubn Wld. After hitting up the Valentines event at the Scala in King Cross the link up had to happen. We are serving nothing but top tier convo as you get well acquainted with the creatives and social mission behind the brand. The brand concept through to the monthly sold out parties deserve all the flowers. We leave nothing unsaid and get into heavy hitting conversations around the magnitude and reasoning behind the division between Black and Asian communities and how this translates within the LGBT social and club scene. You know I had to enquire about the condom stand on the first floor. Anywhoooo tune in!

This week I cover a really personal topic with a friend of mine Jessie, what it's like living with ADHD as an adult. Jessie posted an ADHD awareness post on her stories Dec 2021 which led up to the moment where we both realised that we are both queer and both live with ADHD. For me, it was a pretty exciting moment and i instantly invited Jessie back down to the studio to have a conversation to share our stories and learnings from along the way. If you know about Harry you listened to the end x.

Yo Peeps, this week we celebrate a milestone....BIG Episode 25!!! I celebrated in the most flamboyant way, I gots to hanging out with Adae aka LDN based Drag King, Mr Wesley Dykes. I admittedly don't know much about the world of drag, so I set out a mission to try and learn something beyond Ru Paul's Drag Race and the sexiest queen alive @jaidaehall. Tbh Peeps I had no idea what a Drag King was beyond the obvious assumptions nor what to expect. Turns out, I had the time of my life learning about Drag Culture, the life and character of a Drag King, parenting and performance based gender play. This crash course gave me the idea to  create my own Drag King character ....full hair, make up and outfit....let me know if I should go for it in the comments on IG x

This week I called upon my home girl Phillie to crack open the juicy topic of religion and sexuality. It's a topic that causes alot of conflict and controversy however we are ready to take on the challenge. We share our stance on what we believe and practice on a daily basis. Whether we experience conflict between our faith, culture and sexuality. We keep it a buck one hundred unpacking what we don't rate about our faith and religion. How faith, culture and queerness further complicate Modern dating in LDN. And of course we had to talk on how colonisation introduced homophobia into many countries where Queerness still remains criminalised today.  Listen Peeps another cracking convo lines up for you.
