This week we are joined by our favorite Goddess on the court, Emma "Dilemma" Belizario as we unpack the myths and misinformation shaping the conversation around trans athletes in sports. In our convo we move beyond headlines to explore what’s truly at stake for trans girls and women, why these narratives persist, and what trans athletes are actually asking for when they step onto the court. It’s a necessary conversation about equity, dignity, and why we need to protect all trans people's right to play.

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.

This week on Black Fat Femme, we’re joined by our good sis Simone Mariposa for a powerful conversation on divine embodiment—what it means to listen to your body, mind, and spirit in a world that constantly pulls us out of alignment. We break down how to get your internal “systems” working together, where to start if you feel disconnected, and how Simone’s lived experiences shape her approach to healing and self-awareness.

Plus, we talk Obama Library rollout and the Tyra Banks documentary drama while rolling our eyes, hard.
