    The Art of Comfort Ep. 15
    Mar 29 2024
    A lot of our every day conveniences has lulled us into a comfort that seems perfect. It's easy. It's quick. But is it perfect? What has the convenience of buying things off our phones with a single tap given us? A whole world of trouble, that's what. People mentioned: Amanda Seales (@amandaseales on IG)

    In life, we need armour to prevent any sort of hurt. This is completely normal but when is having an extreme amount of armour too much? I know it's been a while (I recorded this back in Jan! YIKES - my procrastination on full display). Anyways, welcome back to the Art of Stories.... *she says, trailing off in embarrassment*

    The Art of Speaking Up Ep. 13
    Feb 27 2024

    Growing up, my job was to remain silent, to look pretty, and to be polite. In my culture, girls hold less value when they're too talkative, too loud, too crass.

    What everyone was really afraid of was what we would say. What secrets we could reveal if we were to use our voices.

    Yes:

    There are times when it feels like we're all screaming into the void.
    There are times when it feels as if our words fall on (intentionally) deaf ears.
    There are times when it feels as if our singular voice cannot be heard.

    But our voices, united together, can make a difference. We just have to unite them.

    And as always, FREEPALESTINE.

    "No one is free until we are all free." -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
