This week we’ve brought you a bumper 50 minutes worth of podcast, a beautiful conversation between Natty, Charlie, and the incredible poet, activist, writer and actor Staceyann Chin. Covering everything from motherhood, queerness, creativity and growing up in the Caribbean, Staceyann brings us into her world and how her upbringing and experiences in both Jamaica and the United States have informed her creative and activist organising. 

Reading her powerful poem “Common Truths or Why I Love My Pussy”, Staceyann, Natty, and Charlie talk about girlhood growing up under patriarchy, the violence that exists in so many young women’s upbringing, and what it means to fight for a future that you might not yourself benefit from.
