#5 - You are NOT alone with Chris Smith
09/26/20 • 54 min
Join Beau Bradley (They/Them/he/him) and special guest, Howard University PhD Student, and published expert on sexuality and non monogamy, Chris Smith (they/them/omni), as they discuss the intertwined nature of queerness and blackness, along with their personal journey with non monogamy. Chris explains the three main types of non monogamy, their experience as a queer child in a conservative black household and how everything they do is routed in love, caring, and respect. Other things covered in this episode include backwashing, cheating, and why it is imperative to be your own primary partner. Join along in this fascinating conversation where Chris's wisdom and knowledge can help us all learn to be more caring and accepting. In a world where at least 39% of the queer population in America identify as BIPOC, where better to learn then from the source! Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review! Can't wait to hear what you all have to say!
This episode contains minimal cursing, but I refuse to rate it as "explicit," because that does not apply to this episode.

#6 - Windows and Mirrors with Beth Farr
On this week's episode, Beau sits down to chat with dear friend and kindergarten teacher, Beth Farr (she/her). Beth opens up about what inspired her to create an all-inclusive classroom, how important it is to incorporate diversity in early learning, and how we as adults have the responsibility to model social justice for the next generation. The pair discuss queer-inclusive children's books, how literature can create a safe space, and why the language we use matters.
