episode Defending the Agency of the Motherland: The West’s Superiority Complex artwork

Defending the Agency of the Motherland: The West’s Superiority Complex

Fareea and Tarchithaa are joined by Stacey (she/her) in a conversation on the oppression and privilege that their intersectional identities allow for as queer members of their respective diasporas. Stacey walks us through the nuances of connecting with her Filipino-American identity, from colorism in the Philippines to differing reflections on a future in America. Recognizing the dismissive actions of white saviors in regards to their home countries, the frustrating realities of being tokenized as a spokesperson in the West also unearths the need to protect the cultural agency of their culture historically disenfranchised by colonialism.  Check out Stacey’s Instagram here: @steakyyy_ [https://www.instagram.com/steakyyy_?igsh=MW10d21lb2h6b2c3Mg==] Check out the transcript for this episode : S1E5 Transcript [https://sites.google.com/view/eqil/the-eqil-pod/season-1-episode-5].  Find us on Instagram : @theeqilproject [https://www.instagram.com/eqilproject?igsh=MWExc2FodTN5azV6dg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr].

episode From the South to NYC: Defining Queer Spirituality on Your Own Terms artwork

From the South to NYC: Defining Queer Spirituality on Your Own Terms

In this episode, Kennedy (she/her) walks Fareea and Tarchithaa through the fundamental experiences that shaped her queer identity. Discovering queer spaces in the southern suburbs allowed her to dismantle preconceptions of gender roles. Yet as they were still predominantly white, she moved to New York City seeking a more diverse and familiar environment. Together, the three of them explore how cultural and queer coexistence is assumed to be paradoxical and the history of spiritual and religious practices as tools for understanding one’s queerness and surviving oppression.

Unspoken Expectations: BIPOC Exclusion in Queer Intentional Spaces

Fareea and Tarchithaa are joined by Luzselena (she/her) in this episode as they delve into the lack of intersectional understanding that pops up in intentionally Queer spaces sometimes. From recounting shared realities of confusion to reflecting on LGBTQ+ American Films, the three of them explore the gamut of silent expectations regarding sexuality and gender expression influenced by Eurocentric hegemonic standards and how that impacts connection in platonic and romantic relationships.  Check out Luzselena’s Art Instagram here: @luzselenasart [https://www.instagram.com/luzselenasart?igsh=MW5tbnQ0dWpmZXBveA==]!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
