Podcasts about cocoa butter club

I've been thinking a lot lately about how your life can just happen to you. And, if you're not careful you can wake up one day wondering how you ended up there. But then, there are times when we take the bull by the horns and throw caution to the wind (and all the other cliches that you can think of), even if we know we might fail. Anyway, I had a wonderful reminder of that strength and courage that we can summon this week when I spoke to the cabaret performer Rudy Jeevanjee. Rudy found, through the Cocoa Butter Club, (which hosted regular nights at lost London space Her Upstairs), his people AND his purpose. What more could you ask for?

Early sexual experiences can shape one's understanding of their sexuality and impact their journey to find inner peace. Navigating relationships and the gay scene can be challenging, and it is important to find spaces and connections that feel genuine and supportive. The clubbing scene can provide a sense of belonging and freedom for LGBTQ+ individuals, but it may also lack inclusivity and representation. Performing can be a transformative experience that allows individuals to express different aspects of their identity and gain confidence. Embrace and celebrate all parts of yourself, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. The queer scene has evolved and changed over time, and individuals may have different experiences and preferences within it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/k-anderson/message

Space for the Self-Made is a new podcast created by Issie Leigh and Jeng Au, members our youth-led innovation lab, Interchange. The podcast addresses adversities felt by people of colour in the arts and creative industries through reframing the narrative focus from the negative and instead explores the culture of resilience emerging among young London creatives. The pilot episode gives a solid springboard as it traverses three major points of contention for young PoC today; diversity and representation, the necessity of safe-spaces and economic uncertainty seen through the lens of young creatives who are “making their own creative space”. Interviews and guests include musician and artist YaYa Bones, print publication for East and South-east Asian women and non-binary voices Daikon* zine and audience members at The Cocoa Butter Club who showcase and celebrate performers of colour. This work was supported by AHRC grant AH/P013155/1, 'Who is missing from the picture? The problem of inequality in the creative economy and what we can do about it.', funded as part of Panic! 2018. Please note: contains some swearing.

Davey is an Inningai, Bidjara, Wakka Wakka and Gubbi Gubbi man from a small town named Barcaldine in Queensland. As a child, he wished to grow up and become Princess Leia, who taught him to strangle his oppressors with the very chains they put you in. He moved to Brisbane via Bundaberg to study at the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts, and has since worked behind the scenes for the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Circus Oz and Guesswork Television. Davey is also a writer, activist, host of Urban Dreaming on JOY 94.9 and MC of the Australian chapter of Cocoa Butter Club.
