VIBE Check
History has a way of repeating itself—especially when it comes to violence against women and marginalized communities. VIBE Check (Violence Intervention and Building Empowerment) unpacks the deep-rooted intersections of gender-based violence, racism, sexism, homophobia, and systemic oppression. This podcast is more than just a history lesson—it’s a call to action. By exposing the past, we empower the present and fight for a future where justice isn’t just an idea, but a reality. Tune in as we challenge the narratives, reclaim our stories, and build a world rooted in empowerment and intervention.

Rest as Resistance: How Rest Can Be Radical
In this episode, we explore how rest can be a radical act of resistance against grind culture, capitalism, and inequitable workplaces. We unpack the difference between commercialized self-care and true, collective healing, and why rest is deeply political. Join us as we reframe rest not as a luxury, but as a necessary tool for liberation and community care.
