Krishna Istha and I discuss their stand-up comedy show about trans experience, Beast, directed by Zoë Coombs Marr. Krishna is a London-based performer, writer, live artist, and theatre maker whose work explores gender politics and queer culture. They created performance persona Bambi Sexsmith during Duckie’s Homosexualist Summer School, trained with GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN and comedian Hannah Gadsby, and performed in Rosana Cade’s Walking:Holding, Laura Bridgeman’s The Butch Monologues, and Wild Bore by Zoë Coombs Marr, Ursula Martinez, and Adrienne Truscott. Krishna and I discuss Beast’s infusion of comedy with live art; its costuming, audiences, scenography, and making process; and topics from racism to QTIPOC cabaret, mentoring, visibility, and touring while trans.

My guest is Nikkita Oliver (she/her). She is an attorney, writer, educator, abolitionist and for many of us “The People’s Mayor”. In 2017 she was the first political candidate from Seattles Peoples Party, and ran for the mayor of Seattle, coming in a very close 3rd out of 21 others. As of late she can be found on the front lines of the powerful Seattle activist movement, fighting toward the decriminalization, defunding and abolition of the racist, sexist and classist institutions who are systemically killing our BIPOC & QTIPOC community. We discuss the current demands around the local BLM and civil rights movements, if she will run for Mayor again and how she is practicing self care during it all.

Is your relationship with pleasure complicated? Check out my new pleasure course which is enrolling now through April 22, 2019 (we'll enroll again in June!). It's called Power in Pleasure: Reconnecting with Your Hunger, Desire, and Joy and runs for five weeks online. I'd love to see you there. M'kali-Hashiki is here! Let's talk about erotic healing and more. M'kali-Hashiki works with people's erotic wounds and erotic breathwork. She has such wisdom and experience in exploring the erotic and also being with our bodies in meaningful ways. Our conversation explores the ways we touch our genitals, the ways we become erotically wounded, what presence and breathwork can offer us in reconnecting with our pleasure and erotic sources. We also dive deep into the concept of safety and why safety isn't available to everyone. When we begin to examine the ways we have to armor ourselves to move through our lives, especially if we experience marginalization by the state, we start to see the ways safety may not be available to us, even in our most intimate relationships. This is a rich, yummy discussion that I can't wait for you to hear. Want to hear my bonus chat with M'kali-Hashiki about life-affirming, body-affirming, emotion-affirming sex? Pop over to Patreon!

Chris and Rifa take their weekly dip into the choppy waters of culture, tech and diversity. This week we catch up with two iconic queer TV shows: the second season of makeover reality hit Queer Eye on Netflix and groundbreaking FX drama series Pose, about the underground trans ball scene in 1980s New York, which is on the BBC iPlayer. This expanded into a broader conversation about LGBTQI and QTIPOC representation, privilege and ally-ship. Chris is reading David Grann's non fiction book White Darkness, about Henry Worsley's solo attempt to cross Antarctica, while Rifa's reading Oprah's new pithy advice quotations book The Path Made Clear. Find us on Facebook and Instagram. If you're enjoying Refigure, please help us grow our audience by leaving a nice review, 'following' us and sharing with your friends. Thanks a lot! We're in Greece right now, so next week's Refigure should have a distinctly mediterranean feel.

Episode Highlights M'kali-Hashiki discusses how she became a renegade sexual mystic early in life through discovering how to channel sexual energy to connect with universal flow. Deepening her connection to sexual energy through her studies with Joseph Kramer at the Body Electric school, and in Sexological Bodywork. She discusses the interconnectedness of sexuality and politics, and bringing in her renegade activism to that connection. M'kali-Hashiki teaches marginalized people to use sexuality to make space for joy through sex as a form of activism. "Oppression requires the repression of the erotic." - Audre Lodre What happens when we lose connection to passion, and connecting with pleasure in the body instead of falling into the spell of consumerism. The 3 pillars of fierce passion - presence, pleasure and prayer; and the difference between the sensual, sexual and erotic. “Our sexuality is a source of infinite power and transformation.” Her specific work with fat, queer, black women and other marginalized people explores helping them take up space and find safety in their bodies.
