A Word from Unctie C: Our Journey & New Beginnings

After a brief hiatus, Unctie C dives into the significance of reconnecting with the roots of PRIDE and shares his exciting personal journey over the past months, highlighting the meaningful connections and investments made in the community.

The episode takes a special turn with the unveiling of a still-kinda-secret initiative: the creation of a nonprofit Queer community center in Augusta, Georgia. This center is envisioned as a sanctuary and hub for the BIPOC2SLGBTQIAP+ community, aiming to foster unity, support, and growth.

Listeners are encouraged to be the change they wish to see in the world, to honor the spirit of Pride by embracing their history, and to discover their own purpose, just as Unctie C has found his. The episode closes with a powerful message of love, visibility, and the collective strength of the community. Tune in to be inspired and to learn how to join this transformative journey.

Breaking Barriers: Demystifying Sexual Health

In the 7th and final episode of Let's Get One Thing Straight, we're breaking through the stigma surrounding sexual health and conversations about HIV/AIDS and STIs. Queer Black Author & Poet, Deon Durr, joins us to advocate for inclusive sexual health education, highlight the need for access to comprehensive and inclusive healthcare, and the issue of hypersexuality within the LGBTQIAAP+ community.

As we bid farewell to Let's Get One Thing Straight, remember, it's not just about breaking down barriers; it's about creating a space where everyone's voice is heard, every story is valued, and where love and education go hand in hand. The more you know better, the more you do better. As always, be the change you want to see.

Out Loud: Navigating the Spectrum of Coming Out

In Part 6 of Let's Get One Thing Straight, we're talking about coming out! In this episode, we're joined by our friend, Professional XDresser, RPDR Season 2 Alumni, and Skincare Blogger Mystique Summers.

Mystique comes to spill a little tea, throw a little shade, and talk about her perspective of coming out as she marches to the beat of her own drum. Mystique encourages us to be empowered in our truth and to be introspective about the process. If you're thinking about coming out, she says you should ask yourself two questions. Are you doing it for yourself, or are you doing it for others -- for acceptance?

Tap in and dig into the conversation with us, laugh with us, as we talk Out Loud: Navigating the Spectrum of Coming Out!

Unboxed: Navigating Sex, Intimacy, & Relationships

In Episode 3 of the Let's Get One Thing Straight series, featuring Queer Black Artist AC Daniel, we go deep into the diverse and scandalous realm of LGBTQIAAP+ connections! In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of authenticity, intersectionality, stereotypes, and even venture into the wild subcultures and fetishes within the LGBTQIAAP+ community. From tackling discrimination to embracing intersectionality, we explore how genuine connections serve as the driving force for advocacy and change.

We would be remiss not to discuss the uncomfortable truths of fetishization and discrimination within gay subcultures. We expose the systemic issues that perpetuate racism and objectification, shedding light on the experiences of individuals who face fetishization based on race, size, and more.
