"The B.F.F. Podcast” gives voice to two of the leading queer, fat and Black changemakers while calling in the world to examine and understand what it means to love oneself unapologetically - in a world where loving oneself often feels impossible.

In this week's episode we are joined by researcher and author Dr. Terrell J.A. Winder for a powerful conversation on the intersections of identity, stigma, and self-worth among Black queer men in Los Angeles. Grounded in Terrell’s work, we explore the earliest moments many Black queer folks come to understand their bodies as “problems” and how those messages are shaped by institutions like churches, schools, healthcare systems, and everyday public life. We also talk about their new book "Shameless" and  how we all can imagine new pathways toward healing and liberation.

On this week’s episode of the Black Fat Femme Podcast, the BFF's sit down with multihyphenate creator Kalen Allen for a deep, tender, and hilarious conversation about life after the show. Kalen reflects on his rise, the industry’s response once the cameras stopped rolling, and what it’s taken to rebuild his career and sense of self beyond daytime TV.

Together, they unpack grief, rejection, and starting over, what it means to be Black, queer, and femme in entertainment, and why nuance is non‑negotiable when you’re telling the truth about power, pain, and joy online.
