27. LIVING WITH AN STI ft. Natasha Lama (Brown Girl Sexology)
WHEEOOOPPP this episode we're joined by the supremely fab Natasha Lama aka 'Brown Girl Sexology'. She's a content creator whose work is all about celebrating our bodies, embracing our sexuality, and prioritising pleasure.
Earlier this year, she came out to talk about her herpes diagnosis in her quest to smash the stigma. I sat down with her to talk about her journey, the shitty stigma against STIs, and we learn that 90% are actually carriers of HSV1. Oop. Not that rare at all.

26. WAIT WAS I IN A CULT? THE DARK SIDE OF DANCE TEAMS
We're back after a well-needed season break, sniffly nose and all. This episode we dive into my experience in a bhangra team over 5 years ago: wait was I in a cult? All the shittiness surrounding my bhangra horror story explored, plus we delve into YOUR stories that you shared on Instagram - classical dance, Bollywood, the whole shebang.
For many of us, dance is the only thing keeping us connected to our culture. But for many of us, it's also the source of ~trauma~ xxxxxxx
If only we could just fkn dance. One day baby, one day.

25. WHY DO WE ONLY LISTEN TO GRACE TAME & BRITTANY HIGGINS? ft. Dhanya Mani
This week is a heavy one so I'm starting it with a content warning!
CW: sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment + violence - all of which are described in graphic detail.
During her time in law and politics in the 2010s, Indian-Australian Dhanya alleged two separate instances of sexual assault at the hands of senior members of her workplace. We sit down today for a raw conversation; discussing the incident itself, why there was an added layer of complexity in reporting the crime as a woman of colour, and why voices like hers and ours are silenced against those of Grace and Brittany. What needs to change?
