Absolutely delighted to share that VIBE CHECK has been nominated for an Ambie for Best News and Politics Podcast! It’s important to me that black queer people can be taken seriously as authoritative voices on not just pop culture and LGBT topics, but leading news and politics stories as well.

“A lot of people who look down on sex workers are just mad about the sex work they themselves did and didn’t get paid for.”
Today’s episode of VIBE CHECK is about cheating, open relationships and more! @zachstafford.bsky.social and I even share stories about being “the other woman.” 👀

Between ‘Heated Rivalry’ and ‘Boots,’ it feels like Hollywood is saying: “You’re losing rights…but look at how hot it can be being in the closet again!”

Man, this is a fantastic conversation about humor, both when it's about maintaining the status quo (responding to Epstein revelations w/smug self serving comments instead of moral horror) & when it's in service of justice (inflatable frog costumes & ice scrapers deflating facism).
We talked about Epstein and more importantly how WE (the internet) are all talking about him (and the jokes) this week on the show:

This week on Vibe Check, we dive DEEP into the world of Wicked, Oz and what these stories reflect back into our own world today.
And we correctly identify Dorothy as a criminal. Think about it!
