The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie & Lina
Welcome to The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina, a new weekly podcast hosted by DJ/activist Lina Bradford and fashion legend Connie Fleming, the show offers unprecedented access to the icons, secrets, and untold stories that shaped queer culture. Lina and Connie are both trailblazing women of transgender experience, with deep backgrounds hosting and performing in NYC’s most storied clubs—and pioneering on fashion runways. They bring their knowledge, stories, and relationships to “The Cutting Up,” offering audiences a backstage pass to authentic conversations that can only happen between true friends and industry legends. “The Cutting Up” goes deep on fashion, music, activism, and identity.

Silk and Soul Food: A Kiki with Nicole Ari Parker
OK honey, we get right into it, with just a little side swerve into what the girls are fighting over, grammar lessons, The Eyes of Laura Mars, the commercial for DiAnes hair extensions, our “Labiquita” (LGBTQIA) community freedom fighters, and—ding dong!—star of And Just Like That, Nicole Ari Parker! Nicole pays us a visit to dish on her character’s unforgettable fashion moments, her swoonworthy hubby Boris Kodjoe, school uniforms, and fifteen feet of silk chiffon! And we go fishin’.
