This week, we had the absolute honor of interviewing Portland artist, dancer, and creator Latoya Lovely. We had to do it special for this extra special guest, so we're coming at you from the Portland Art Museum with The Numberz to catch up with Latoya since the last time we saw her. Even though it's been a minute since we've interviewed, we don't waste time and we certainly don't mess around! We're getting to the bottom of vulnerability, artistic expression, and that glow! Join us for a conversation about self-love, self-healing, and self-affirmation. Grateful for every moment @latoya.lovely. Thank you for the beauty that you are, the beauty that you create, and the beauty that you share. It Takes A Village!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We are officially at 100 episodes!!!! How the fuck we made it here, no one knows! Of course, we’re kidding, because we have given so much to this podcast and hold it close to us dearly. We dreamed of the day we’d get to 100 and talked about a lavish and grand event, but instead, we recorded where we started... at the dining table. Fully connected to our VVP roots and full of gratitude to the folx who ride w us, we reflect on everything that’s brought us here and the journey this has unexpectedly taken us on. Listen as we thank damn near every person that we’ve had the honor and privilege of working with (issa lot) and as we reflect hard on how VVP has changed our lives. What a beautiful journey it’s been. Thank you, from the bottom of our tiny, cold hearts, for the support, love, and good vibes. It could not hold truer for us, as a podcast and as individual bad bitches, that it certainly takes a village. #ittakesavillage

Go follow High Good People and listen on all streaming platforms. The podcast is a fucking gem created by the hard work that Tiara put in to make it as incredible as it is, so if you haven't already (you're late), listen as she and featured guests explore the historical, cultural, and social relationship between cannabis and POC.
