This week on Black Fat Femme, we’re joined by our good sis Simone Mariposa for a powerful conversation on divine embodiment—what it means to listen to your body, mind, and spirit in a world that constantly pulls us out of alignment. We break down how to get your internal “systems” working together, where to start if you feel disconnected, and how Simone’s lived experiences shape her approach to healing and self-awareness.

Plus, we talk Obama Library rollout and the Tyra Banks documentary drama while rolling our eyes, hard. 

We want to hear from you! Send us an email with your thoughts/comments about the show: BlackFatFemmePod@gmail.com.

We got one of People Magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" - Brian Michael Smith - on Black Fat Femme this week, and we get into discussions about authentic trans narratives, wanting more mediocrity (?!?), and the power of tranformative storytelling.

From The L Word: Generation Q and 9-1-1: Lone Star, to his advocacy in film and television, Brian breaks down his journey from sports star to TV star while your favorite cohosts share their hot takes about parasocial relationships, being paid more for less, and some of the "hidden figures" in trans history.

What is the Use of One Cheek?  (featuring Brian Michael Smith)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/19701f8a-fe36-46e8-afa8-b46b006e8000/transcript

This week on Black Fat Femme, we sit down with the brilliant Ericka Hart to talk about their powerful new book Nasty Work—a deep dive into sex, power, and the labor of intimacy. We get into what it means to claim pleasure unapologetically, especially at the intersections of Blackness, queerness, and fatness.

We also unpack the politics of credibility in the Black community—who gets taken seriously and why—sparked by conversations around figures like Cheyenne Bryant, and how degrees shape (and distort) trust. And yes, we go there: a candid, hilarious, and pointed discussion on why straight people should absolutely be paying more during Pride
