from "I'm not like other girls" to feeling free and understanding vulnerability and openness as the beginning of the path to joining the movement for collective liberation :-) reflecting on how the environment i was surrounded with quite literally limited my worldview to the point that becoming the truth of who i was was not in the realm of my understanding what was possible for me to even imagine. well, i'm in a new environment. feeling brand new!!! re-imagining self means re-imagining the world around you!

let's talk about creating things!!! whether it be this podcast or trying to write and journal consistently, something just always feels.... complicated?? within my creative process, and the struggle can sometimes make me feel like I'm.... failing? for some reason? anyway, enjoy this raw, unedited, day-of conversation to name some intentions of mine behind this podcast and other conjurings of mine along with working amidst ourselves and our communities so support collective liberation. keep creating, baddies, and Free Congo, Free Sudan, Free Palestine, Free Haiti, free your minds and your neighbors and fellow earth dwellers.

potential trigger warning; discussions of rape and SA. a continuation of the insightful and expansive past two episodes, my sister MJ and I continue our raw, intense, and honest follow-up and dive into influences of our style and expression, society's focus on men's desires and perspectives w/in popular culture, various influences for us within purity culture, and more on the particular harms of rape culture and purity culture. join me in reflecting with my dear sister, MariJean Elizabeth Wegert, and dissecting her experiences within and coming out of purity culture. I hold a deep appreciation for MJ’s openness and vulnerability paired concisely with the accumulation of her expertise and expression thereof unraveled in this interview. MJ shares her experiences with purity culture, her knowledge of it’s ties to rape culture, and explores following desire and pleasure in the pursuit of healing, and more importantly, herself {and ourselves} <3
