Oh, my heart. Let's talk about the beautiful Gia Carangi, who was widely considered by many to be the world's first supermodel.

Gia captivated the fashion world with her striking androgynous beauty and charisma. As an openly queer woman navigating the fashion industry in the late 1970s, she challenged beauty standards and left a lasting impact on generations of models who followed.

Despite her quick rise to fame, Gia was struggling internally with trauma, addiction, and ultimately the AIDS epidemic which tragically took her life on November 18, 1986.

I highly recommend watching HBO film Gia, starring Angelina Jolie. The movie talks about her influence on queer visibility, and the tragic circumstances that led to her death at just 26 years old.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse, addiction, drug use, HIV/AIDS, mental health struggles, and death.

Okay, so I had a full throwback moment listening to Believe by Justin Bieber and realized I was absolutely obsessed with JB in high school. Which got me thinking—is the Belieber-to-lesbian pipeline actually a thing?

I mean, obviously Biebs is insanely talented, but after his recent Coachella performance… tell me why the gays have Bieber fever all over again? I had to go into full investigator mode to figure out why.

Wow, what a week.

What started as a scandal on Summer House quickly turned into a much bigger conversation.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the situation involving Ciara Miller, West Wilson, and Amanda Batula — and why so many people are reacting so strongly to it.

We’re talking about hypersexualization of Black women and women of colour, the experience of being desired but not always chosen, and what it feels like to be “othered” in friendships, dating, and predominantly white spaces.

I briefly share my own perspective growing up in a small, mostly white town, and how moments like this on reality TV can reflect real-life dynamics that don’t always get named.

This isn't just a Bravo cheating scandal. It’s about who gets empathy, who gets labeled, and how race can quietly shape the way we experience relationships.

(Also: TEAM CIARA, always!)

Friends!! I can't wait for you to tune into this one. My two close friends Cayla and Tiff are a queer couple who truly embody vulnerability, honesty, and a really sweet kind of love. They joined me on the pod for an honest conversation about their relationship, how they met, and the story behind the creation of their social page and connection-based game show, A Chicken Named Paul.

We talk about communication, growth, healthy queer relationships, and of course, we had to throw in some astrology questions too.

A few minutes of movement each day can work wonders for your mental health, especially during the winter months, when snow, rain, and long hours indoors make it so easy to stay cozy. Unfortunately, that can also mean we aren't moving our bodies!

Daily movement is a reset for your mind, a break from screens, and a reminder to be present. Step outside and touch some grass friends! It'll do wonders xx

This episode explores what a healthy queer relationship can actually look like. From trust to open communication, and why not having butterflies all the time might be a good thing.
