The Dressing Down: Conversations on Queerness

In this episode, Lexi is joined by Inès to unpack coming out, finding the right labels, and how fashion doesn't dictate to the world, who they are. They discuss the intersection of Black identity and queerness, and flip the narrative on religion—proving that the house of God can be a place of healing, even for those once told they didn't belong. Tune in for a powerful conversation on identity, faith, and showing up as your full self.

Black Girl's Guide to being Queer + African

To continue our Pride Month Series, I am joined by my Bestie to talk about our shared experience of being Queer, Black and African in this year of 2026. We touched upon, failed "coming-outs", family members in denial, bi-erasure, the transition from hetero to homo relationships and even on how Non-Western country's proximity to the "West" has led them to be more "inclusive". Tune in for non-solicited advice on how to Survive. 🏳️‍🌈

To kickstart Pride Month, Lexi showcases an episode that hits all the spots: law, fashion, and pride—all in one. In this episode, Lexi breaks down the escalating legal battle between outdoor apparel giant Patagonia and drag queen climate activist Pattie Gonia, and discusses the clash over who gets to use parody, protest, and commerce to fight for the planet. Aren't they all on the same side, after all? If so, why the stalemate...? Give it a listen to decide for yourself.

On Gender, Race, Queerness and Africanness

In this episode, Lexi is joined by her friend Ebube—an organiser and educator. Together, they explore a range of interconnected topics, including race, gender, queerness, and Africanness. The conversation touches heavily on the experience of interracial relationships, patriarchy, liberation movements, and even something about bloodlines...
