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.

"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.

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

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
