“We are united as Black and Asian people to recognize the BS of people trying to leverage the successes from our communities as some way to cover up the real stuff — being locked out of certain things.” Johnathan is a content creator, podcaster, activist, serial panelist, and bubble tea enthusiast. His activism began in 2008 with his “blasainFMA” YouTube channel - where he worked to bring awareness to multiracial issues surrounding the intersection of Black and Asian identity. Johnathan first podcast “Edugaytion” covered Queer Person of Color (QPOC) issues, and has recently launched “This QPOC Life” to be more inclusive to all marginalized communities. To close out Pride Month, we're featuring a conversation from our guest co-host + longtime FrieMMd of the Pod Steven Wakabayashi from the Yellow Glitter podcast - who covers mindfulness through the eyes and soul of  Queer Asian perspectives.

It's a This QPOC Life summer special with none other than Bob the Drag Queen! The Black Lives Matter movement has taken center stage in the national conversation in America. And as many White people (and brands, sports teams, etc.) are “waking up” to the ills of systemic racism, we can’t help but wonder if it’s real or if it’s all for show. On today’s episode, we discuss performative “wokeness” that we are seeing in the culture, how to spot it, and what to do when confronted by it. Then, we interview with Bob The Drag Queen, winner of season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, about her recent comedy special Bob The Drag Queen, Live At Caroline’s, and discuss how she performs activism through her drag and comedy. Bob the Drag Queen, Live at Caroline's is available on the iTunes store! GROW THE COMMUNITY If you believe in the work we are doing, invest in our success, become a Patron on Patreon!

For the month of February, we sit down with queer Asian Americans to learn more about how they navigate finding love here in America.   This episode, we chat with Johnathan Gibbs, aka blasianFMA about activism, biracial identities, model minority myths, our racial preferences, and so much more.   Johnathan Gibbs, he/him/his also known as blasianFMA online, is a content creator, podcaster, activist, serial panelist, and bubble tea enthusiast. His work in activism began with his YouTube channel “blasainFMA” in 2008, in which he worked to bring awareness to multiracial issues surrounding the intersection of Black and Asian identity. He later enjoyed a 60 episode run of his first podcast “Edugaytion” which covered QPOC issues from the point of view of people from around the United States. He is now working on a newly launched podcast, “This QPOC Life” which is a spiritual successor to the   Edugaytion   series, re-imagined and ever evolving to be more sensitive to all marginalized communities.   This episode, we cover: The story behind the name: blasianFMA Creating content in the early days of YouTube. How Johnathan got started in activism and creating safe spaces What was it like growing up biracial Asian and Black. How does both the Asian and Black community respond to biracial identities? Breaking down the model minority myth. Coming out after publishing a conservative article. Dating as a biracial Black and Asian man. Why racism is more than just our preferences. Thoughts on dating apps, objectification, and stereotypes. How does the work show up in dating? When activism and dating lives collide.   Resources: Brown Skin, White Minds: Filipino -/ American Postcolonial Psychology by E.J.R.

Managing yourself in general can be challenging. Sometimes it's downright overwhelming. It's easy for me to feel like "Oh, I should be better at this". But, truth of the matter is, no one teaches you that skill. And when things start piling up, that turns into self-neglect. Then the neglect just spirals down toward a depressed episode and you wonder how you got stuck there. The past several weeks since starting the podcast, I noticed the most significant change for the better in how I manage my energy and my attention. I'm not suddenly a master, but I think I'm finding systems that work for me. Special birthday shout outs to my This QPOC Life co-hosts @blasianfma and @tresfabuleux.
