  • EP 14: The Coexistence of Joy and Oppression
    Feb 4 2026

    During this episode I discuss the coexistence of joy and oppression, as we live through unprecedented times. Joy is an active form of resistance for oppressed people. Folks who are marginalized have to make life work in spite of our circumstances. In this case, making life work, looks like finding joy in the margins.

  • EP 13: The Hiatus
    Jan 13 2026

    This episode is about the personal growth that experienced throughout my nearly 2 month break. I’m back, and refreshed. During my break from the podcast, I worked a lot of hours, and had a lot of time to reflect on what I want for the new year while on the clock. In this episode I talk about passion, growth, creating opportunity for yourself, and how visionary sanctum will be establishing it’s self IRL this year.
