“There A Meeting in the Ladies Room”

There’s a Meeting in the Ladies Room
Inside the concept of toxic femininity and the negative effect it has on women!

Kawasi and Andre sit down with Gabby — CEO & Founder of The Unlikely Angel Brand, a powerhouse whose mission is to erase poverty and eradicate the unhoused crisis in Los Angeles. Inside the Ladies Room, the masks come off and the real conversations begin — the ones about womanhood, pressure, identity, and the quiet expectations that shape us long before we ever notice.

This episode unpacks the layers of toxic femininity: the pressure to be agreeable, soft, self‑sacrificing, and endlessly accommodating. With Gabby’s lived experience and advocacy work, the conversation expands into how survival, femininity, and social responsibility collide in the real world.

We dive into:

• How toxic femininity forms through culture, family, and social conditioning
• Why women feel pressure to be agreeable or “easy to handle”
• The emotional cost of being the strong one in every room
• How advocacy and identity intersect in Gabby’s mission to uplift the unhoused
• What healing looks like when women reclaim their voice and their fullness


And to close out the episode, we have a show‑stopping performance by The Adoni, performing his hit “Beck N Call” LIVE — a moment that brings the house down.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Hey, what's up everybody? I'm Quasey. And I'm Andre. And this is look. And we're here today. Andre, tell them where we are today.

SPEAKER_05 0:36

Okay, so we are at Casa Martin and the Santa Monica Promenade. So right here, uh, we're actually gonna go over, we have some lovely food for here. We have taquitos, we have nachos, and we have carnesada tacos.

SPEAKER_00 0:47

And we're in this lovely restaurant that's owned by three brothers. Three brothers, you know, we have to support the mom and pop's local restaurants, the eateries by our people. And we want to give a special shout out before you start to Luna Nueva, who sponsored this tequila. I'm gonna pour a little bit of this inside of my little pineapple, y'all, before we get started. Don't judge me. But it's reposado, it's my favorite. Andre, tell us about that uh happy hour special.

SPEAKER_05 1:14

All right, so they do have it Monday through Friday from 3 to 6.30, and then also they have lunch specials starting at 12. So come and enjoy it right across the street. Um, also, there's a movie theater, and then one thing also too, I don't know if anybody's aware, is from Thursday through Saturday, you actually can drink in the promenade. So come in, get yourself some margarita together.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

Outside on the promenade, and they have an incredible RB night here, too, guys. So just look for them on Instagram. We'll put it right here in the lower thirds. So today's episode is called We Got a Meeting in the Ladies' Room. And Andre, so can you tell us a little bit about what this is about? Or I can go into it after.

SPEAKER_05 1:52

Well, so I mean you know, pretty much it's a concept of toxic femininity. And I know this is something that you are actually more aware of because you're the one that actually brought this to my attention. And it took me a little bit to actually understand where you're coming from. But then once you explained it, I'm like, oh, that kind of makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Because we always hear about toxic masculinity, toxic masculinity, but we never hear about toxic femininity. And especially, you know, presenting sometimes as uh feminine or androgynous or uh having women in my family that present masculine, they always are held to these misogynistic, these patriarchal rules. And today with us, we got the incredible Gabby. Gabby's with us, she's gonna help us dive into this conversation. Um, Andre.

SPEAKER_05 2:34

Alright, so first introduce yourself and your brand.

SPEAKER_07 2:37

Well, my name is Gabby, the founder and the visionary behind Unlikely Angel Brand.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Okay. Alright. What is Unlikely Angels?

SPEAKER_07 2:45

Unlikely Angel is just a reminder to just be kind to one another. Our mission statement is be careful who you overlook. They might just be an angel. Wow. Can you tell us where to find you all on social media? Yeah, you can find us on all platforms at Unlikely Angel Brand.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

And somebody told me that you're wearing something from your clothing line. Can you give us a clothing tour? What you got on? You gotta represent it. There we go. Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 3:11

Also, too, because I met you through uh my friend Lexi, and the one thing they said that you do this thing where uh you go out and um I guess it was a Venice speech where you're giving out uh personal hygiene items and stuff like that to the unhoused in the communities of Los Angeles. It's about giving back. People want to say a lot, but the one thing is it's like bigger. They don't do a lot, they don't be in the action. So uh like that's one thing I'm gonna commend you on.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

Yeah, can you tell us a little bit about what you do for the unhoused community?

SPEAKER_07 3:35

Yeah, of course. You know, the biggest goal is to always be about what you're talking about. You know, if you're gonna have a mission statement as large, just be careful who you overlook, they might just be an angel. You have to do something for those unlikely angels that are out on the street. Oftentimes, the unlikely angels are the gang members, the unhoused, and the unhoused get overlooked daily.

SPEAKER_06 3:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 3:58

And so we go out, uh, we've done three outreach days, each time handing out a hundred care packages to the unhoused. And uh, we've raised over two thousand dollars just on our own efforts, just a small group of people that have just done some monumental things, and we're planning to do a lot more. Let's go and uh let's go eventually shut down Skid Row and have a concert for them and give them high channels.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

We want to be a part of that. Whenever that happens, come a call in on us, and you guys that are watching, make sure that you're donating to unlikely angels. We're gonna roll that to the Lower Thirds. Like, we're just proud of what you do before we get into this. Thank you. Yeah, this is so much bigger than you, and the fact that you're allowing God to use you, right, right, and the fact that you understand you never know when you meet an angel, you never judge people by their cover, right? And um, we're just proud of you. Thank you. And we want to support anyone that's doing something bigger than them.

SPEAKER_05 4:49

All right, so let's just get into it. So, you know, I know the one thing, you are really big in your church. How are you accepted by your church family?

SPEAKER_07 4:56

Oh, I'm more than accepted. Uh oftentimes people are waiting to see what I'm wearing, which is the funniest thing. Like, like, especially in the past, like I've had such terrible experiences, and my goal was to find a place where I was celebrated and not tolerated. And I and I truly believe that I'm celebrated at my church. She's dropping gems, y'all. Dropping gems.

SPEAKER_05 5:22

Another thing is like, what do you think women should stop apologizing for?

SPEAKER_07 5:26

Stop apologizing for just being. I feel like oftentimes women uh in society are just expected to put on a happy face and and go out to the world and you know, make sure they're looking pretty, make sure their hair is done and their their nails are curled. Sometimes the only thing that you have the energy to do is just be. And so not apologizing for not being happy all the time and not apologizing for, you know, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to put my makeup on. Like, no, just go out and just be yourself because there's so many different positions and so many different places that you're being pulled into. Yeah, but just be. It's okay to just be.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

Just be that's very insightful. I yeah, yeah. I'm I'm gonna dive deep into this this topic today. The topic is about toxic femininity. Okay. So so Gabby, I'm gonna ask you explain your definition of what you think toxic feminity is.

SPEAKER_07 6:23

I truly believe it's uh forcing yourself into a box that was never designed for you. Um you know, me being a masculine presenting woman myself, you know, I just never fit into the box of, you know, being getting married to a man or, you know, uh putting a dress on or putting makeup on or, you know, speaking with this high-pitch box. Like, no, it's just it's just not me, man. Like it hurts my throat after a minute. I'm not about to do all that. So I feel like, you know, toxic femininity is what society has placed on us with stuff, not only that, but it's something that we've internalized and then with and then we started becoming the voice of society. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:06

I mean, we all are subjected to it too, because I can even make especially too in the gay community, one of the biggest things is they always talk about men that present more feminine, how a lot of guys, and it's like I said, it is very toxic. Yeah. How they, if you look at like a lot of these apps and like we're these dating apps, and some of the stuff they say is just really crazy.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

It's crazy because I know a lot of guys in the gay community, I present as pansexual, um, um, and it's hard over parts for me. But I know a lot of people that I know personally won't even date a guy that is feminine because they're like, oh, he's too feminine, or you know, oh everybody's a bottom, or there's bottom shaming, or you know, but I think And it's funny because there's a lot of a lot of the tops out there are feminine, which is really crazy. And let's be real, the the the the feminine guys are getting the same attention as as all these other people, but just not in in public, right? Yeah. So which which goes me to ask this the second question. Um, do you what do you know? How do you feel of asking women to only cook and clean in a household? Do you you feel like that's toxic femininity?

SPEAKER_07 8:10

It is. I I feel like the the goal of a household is it's a team effort. And I feel like if everybody, like, of course, people have whatever works in their house, but when it's an expectation and not a conversation, that's when the the problems start to set in. I like it. You know, yeah, like yes, you know, some women they just prefer to cook and clean, and that's what they love to do. Some women, they they're the ones that go out and they work and they do all these things. Like, they don't like to cook. Some of them can't cook. So that's the burning top round.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

So that's what a good woman is. You think do you think that a good woman is rooted in those expectations and not conversations?

SPEAKER_07 8:52

Yeah, yeah. A good woman is definitely you can find the good woman in the conversation. Yeah, you know, because here's the thing like everybody wants a 50-50 or 80-20. And it work, whatever works for you, works for you. And for me specifically, if I'm in a relationship, I'll cook sometimes or you know, I'll clean sometimes, or I'll go out and I'll make the money. Like whatever it is, you just have to find what works for you. But if it works for you and it doesn't work for anybody else, you can't put your personal convictions on other people. And that just that just goes for everything. And it's and it is toxic when you're taking something that you've put on yourself and you you now you're trying to it's like you put shackles on yourself, yeah, and now you're trying to rope somebody else into your shackle, and it's just not fair.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

As my grandmother say the blind leading the blind, right? Right.

SPEAKER_05 9:39

You know, it's like also just presenting your true self. It's like there are so many people, like especially women, that will not step out of the house wearing makeup. And it's like, look, you can't be perfect all the time. Yeah. I do feel like I society, when it comes down to it, has this image of women having to be perfect at all times. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I mock the whole thing with kitty heels. Kitty heels drive me crazy.

SPEAKER_00 10:00

I don't understand. You know why they were invented, right?

SPEAKER_05 10:02

Why were they invented?

SPEAKER_00 10:03

They were invented because men did not want women to be taller than them. Kitten heels were invented because woman standing next to a man shouldn't be taller than a man.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Oh, that was the whole thing with Barack and Michelle. Yeah, yeah. Because Barack is already tall, but Michelle's a tall woman too, and they made her wear this.

SPEAKER_00 10:18

She could not wear a heel over two inches. Yeah. Isn't that wow? That's crazy. So I'm gonna show the tower. This is a good segue. Do you feel like you present masks to get the girl, or is that just your identity?

SPEAKER_07 10:30

I dress for me. Um I've been dressing like this since I was like five.

SPEAKER_06 10:36

Wow.

SPEAKER_07 10:36

You know, I I'm really into fashion. That's one of the other segues I have is I'm a personal stylist on my free time. And you know, I just like to dress for me. I like to get in the mirror and like, oh, this is nice, you know. The second you start dressing for for other people, you do you lose yourself. And you know, this has always been a big part of me.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

I respect that. I think that most people think that being masculine is performative when actually being feminine is actually performative. Right. Like all of my sisters, they are tomboys at home. But when they go outside, they dress up.

SPEAKER_05 11:11

They've been wearing the daddy's boxers and everything. And gym socks and like t-shirts, which is fine. I don't know. I just think it's really when we think about it, I think, and it's like it's about societal norms, what they expect upon us. And I feel like when I think you said a very good valid conversation, you say it's there there should be not expectation, it should be a conversation. Because some people do like they don't mind that. And I feel like sometimes, especially with certain like cultures, yeah, they expect that women to be at home and keeping take care of the kids. And some of these women are raised to be in, like, you know, I can go to school, I can perform all this stuff. Yeah, and then they marry these guys and they're like, oh, I expect you to be at home and cooking. And it's like, even though they're way more educated than them, you probably can make way more money than them. I feel like you need to have this conversation. It's like, well, you know what? Look at it. Next time I check, uh, if we if we match and pay stuff or pay stuff, it looks like I make a little bit more than you. So maybe you should be doing some laundry, my dude. Like, come on now.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

So I so I have to I have to ask you this. Um, what would you tell your 18-year-old self that you you didn't know then, you know now. What we what would you tell you know 18-year-old Gabby that it's alright?

SPEAKER_07 12:19

Like, because I I did get into you know that toxicity when I was younger, you know, especially because you know, we talk about feminine toxic feminity. I did start to uh exhibit some of those traits of toxic masculinity where you know I had to, you know, because I was the masculine presenting one, I had to pay all the time and all these things, and I'm just like, you know what? It's okay for me to want to be pursued. And you know, me as a woman, I'm it's okay for me to be soft and all of these things. And now I'm just being right, right. And so yeah, I would definitely tell 18-year-old Gabby, like, you know what, it's okay to just allow yourself to be who you are, like, no matter what you put on, you know, no matter what you go outside to do, just stick true to who you are and keep God first 100% of the time. That part, that part, yeah. Doing stuff outside of God and you know, leaning on your own understanding will definitely put you in some situations. And I was in some situations. So, and well, I'm in a much better space now. That was that's what I would tell 18-year-old guys. Wow, wow.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

Um I I have a caveat um to that. Um, have you ever used um femininity uh to or when you were faced when you were being judged, when you felt like you wanted to be comfortable around people, that you ever lean into that so that you know others wouldn't judge you, uh particularly family or or people that you were trying to impress?

SPEAKER_07 13:48

Um I can't say that I have. Just because there was no hiding. Like, there was no hiding. Like, you know, I did at one point try to tell my parents I was straight. And I and they they knew I was lying.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

But they but shout out to mom and dad.

SPEAKER_07 14:07

Yeah, but you know, they wanted to they wanted to believe what they wanted to believe. And I'm just like, if that's what you want me to, that's what you want me to say, I'm gonna just say it. But you know, deep down, they they knew uh uh like come on, that's a little boy walking the room.

SPEAKER_05 14:24

All right, you know what you say, and you know, I just also kind of want to touch back to it because I think this is also important because you talked to because I know also too the one thing that you were giving out, I guess, was like personal hygiene kits, especially for feminine, because that's something that when you go in the communities, I know they're that's a big deal, especially when they go to like um when they're doing these big uh giveaways and stuff. That's one of the products that they focus on because of the actual um the lack of care when it comes down to feminine hygiene products within those communities. Right. And I think that's important for people to really focus on.

SPEAKER_07 14:58

Right. It's pads and tampons are expensive and people have a they have a right to feminine care. They have a right to it. It shouldn't be a privilege. We we only choose whether or not we're gonna bleed. So we shouldn't have to choose what we're gonna pay to you know take care of our our hygiene stuff.

SPEAKER_00 15:18

I think that there's this rumor that even presenting masks, somehow you have to not care about your body, your pH. Yeah, I've heard it. Yeah, oh Lord, I've heard it. Can you can you tell us have you experienced people with those problems? You know, trying to be so masculine, you know?

SPEAKER_07 15:45

Yeah, you know, there man, uh that there's so many things that come with it, you know. Um, you know, people not having the best hygiene because they feel like that's what a man would do. And, you know, or they won't carry a bag. Like you got all your pockets look like yeah, you look like that squidward from that one episode where he ate all them crabby patties and his pockets was all full up. Like literally, you would rather do all of that than just put up walking around hot freedom. It's fine. Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Same thing in the gay community. You have you know, straight guys don't even wash their ass. That's crazy. Washing your ass too long makes them gay. Like you walk working with a straight ass crazy like a bounce. Having dingle bear just like a bounce that ass because you don't want to wash your ass. Because you oh washing your ass is is it's too gay. You want to touch a book. Yeah, you know, can you hit me up with some of this uh with some of this Luna new A lot?

SPEAKER_05 16:44

He needed to check the edge off after that conversation. I understand because because they'd be ripe, so they'd be right, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 16:51

And that and it's not just yeah, it's it's it's not okay, and you know, and I feel like that just goes back to the lack of education that people have, you know. You know, you it's okay, just do what you're gonna do. Like, yeah, if some people they they rather not wear cologne or perfume, that's up to them. But you know, basic hygiene is exactly that basic, it's in the name.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

And you know can so can you look in this camera and tell these young women out there who is who however they present and what they present, it's okay. It's okay to take care of your bodies, guys. It's okay, right?

SPEAKER_07 17:29

Okay, so uh uh women, men, they's and thems. Yes, please, please. I'm begging you, if you don't do it for yourself, do it for me. Or the parking beside. It's okay to take care of yourself because where your body goes, so does the mind. Yes, and if if your physical health is not up to par, your mental health is slipping. We're all we're all connected, everything is connected, and so taking care of your mental, your physical health is super important. Going and taking a shower. It prevents sickness, it's okay, guys. Yeah, it's okay. It doesn't make you gay if you wash your behind.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

And and and I'm gonna look at this camera, straight man out there. It does not make you gay to wash your ass. It does not make you gay to screw up your body and to smell good. It does not make you gay to put on cologne and to make sure your hygiene is where it is. Like we have to have start having honest conversations and we have to start taking care of each other.

SPEAKER_05 18:28

So, you know, each other say, hey, bro, like you know, let's go, let's jump on that shop for an extra five minutes. Yeah, right. Here, here's some Irish Spring. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_06 18:37

And use two different towels. Please. Two, a wash, two washcloths. The same one that goes back in the water.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

I use a I use a loofah, but then also have a face scrub. I but I use two different ones.

SPEAKER_00 18:50

Yes, two different Mia. I have a great friend. Um, she has a brand called Skin Mia. Plant-based, uh, you know, plant-based towels that you put on hot water, they wash off makeup, they wash your face. But you're not supposed to be using the same towel that you wash your ass with to wash your face with.

SPEAKER_05 19:07

And so many people do that.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

And then I'll pivot on that. But I just I I want to just, you know, round this up and just say thank you because, you know, not only are you a black woman, you're a black queer woman, not only are you black and queer, but you're a boss. Not only are you a boss, but you are changing the fucking world. Thank you. You are changing the world and you're helping the homeless. Thank you. And you you're you're you're charging us to just be better and do better. We have all these first world problems.

SPEAKER_05 19:34

Yeah, you know, and I think as it's about we need to look at ourselves and we have to understand, you know, people always want to talk about the homeless problem and the unhoused problems. But we need to look at it like, okay, why are these people like this? Because, you know, people want to have this, oh, they're drug addicts. No, there's a lot of people that are out there because you can't afford because somebody wants to raise up their rent. I mean, if you look throughout the Santa Monica Promenade, there's a lot of these apartment places and a lot of these buildings are at least because they're jacking up the rent. Yeah. People can't simply afford.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

And what is the average cost, median cost to live comfortably in LA now? $117,000 to live comfortably.

SPEAKER_07 20:11

COVID just changed so much for people, and people believe that it's because you know they're drug addicts. Some of these people, they lost their jobs because of a world pandemic. Oh, we have to do that. And they still have not come back. And some of those people are out there because lyn genuinely, because they didn't have access to mental health care, they genuinely lost their minds. And so if you can't even like walk around the street and have a conversation, a productive conversation with somebody, how do you expect them to work?

SPEAKER_00 20:43

And and and Gabby, we're in um, this is National Mental Health Month right now. We're having this episode in. Right. And there's some days where, you know, you know, I make a good living, I have my shit together, but there's some days where it's too much for me. And I got a roof over my head. Right. So how dare we set the bar so low for people that have so little? It it it it just speaks to who you are as a person to give a voice to the voiceless. And I just want I always want to bring it back because I love it. We we we we can't do it and they can't do it alone. No, this is this is real life.

SPEAKER_07 21:16

Like, you know, it and it says in the in the Bible, iron sharpens iron. And you know, if there's nobody to sharpen them, then they're just gonna remain dull.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

Dull as hell.

SPEAKER_07 21:26

And you know, they have to, they have to have people around them that be like, hey, I see you, you're out on the street, you need help. Some some of them they don't, they're too prideful for ask for help because you know that that's just they heart. You know, they they're usually used to getting it on their own. But telling them, like, hey, it's okay to ask for help. And if you don't ask for help, I'm gonna try to see the need that you need and fulfill it for me.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

Yeah, because you know, we just gotta meet people where they are. And that's what they say, real love is, right? You you don't have to ask a person you love what they want, what they need. You're just There and I think we should just adopt that. Gabby, I just want you to tell the people again where they can find you and what you got coming up. Um when is your next you know uh drive to help to help the people downhouse? Like what's coming up with you?

SPEAKER_07 22:15

So again, you can find us on all platforms at Unlikely Angel Brand. And our next step is we're shutting down Skid Row on December 19th. And we're going to be having a concert. We're gonna be uh giving medical supplies, uh mobile showers, haircuts, groomings, and just going down there to just help those people feel like the people that they are.

SPEAKER_05 22:37

Because you know what, there are people, and I feel like when somebody I think it was like an episode of the pit where they, you know, at the hospital, they took in a whole like a person that was unhoused, and you know what they uh gave him a shower, they shaved him, cut his hair, and it was just one of those things where he felt like a different person. Right, and that's all he needed.

SPEAKER_07 22:54

Right, it's a it's the little things that matter. Like when we were out um this past uh month, the last outreach week that we did, there was a person that they didn't have any shoes on, and we were giving out flip-flops, and they were just overjoyed about those flip-flops because like that's stuff that we oftentimes don't have to think about. We can just get up, put our shoes on, go in the refrigerator, get something to eat, and but we have people out here that are grateful for just flip-flops. And so that just shows you that the bar is in hell when it comes to like what is being done for people. If that person is just grateful for flip-flops, yeah. Like, we have so much work to do, and the government is showing us that they don't care. And so it's gonna take the community effort. It's a community effort to be able to help these people.

SPEAKER_05 23:42

That's why we know we're approaching a very, very important time, especially within the state of California, within like even the city of Los Angeles. We need to, you know what? We need to get out there and vote. And I feel like one of the things is people get discouraged. People get discouraged and be like, what's the point of me voting? No, there is a point of me voting. Yeah. And then you, if you're not gonna go out there and vote, you can't fucking say shit. Keep your mouth shut.

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Yeah, and I I just want to bring it back home because um I just want to reiterate on this podcast, we want to make sure that we're having our own conversations. So many people control the narrative of what people of color, queer people of color, think, do, act, and say. We just want to say thank you for coming here, opening up your world, opening up what you do, and giving us a reason to be proud of who the fuck we are. Like you should be so proud. And if nobody told you the mouthful is proud of you, and we're proud of what you're doing, and you know, I'm just I'm in awe. You know, and uh I just want to say thank you, you know, Andrew I know you have something to say.

SPEAKER_05 24:45

You know, I it's I just you know, I I I'm sorry, because I I have to go to this story. A funny story because I know like Lexi, she told me how you guys were giving out kids, and it came to that same person and they were like, but I'm not homeless.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

But maybe the spirit was homeless.

SPEAKER_05 25:07

They did it again at the same time. But it's just one of those things where it's funny, but it's also showing that you care. And they're just like, we know what we're sorry, but you know, we're just showing your care, but like you these are these resources. And so if you do see these people out there, I'm this is why I'm saying this. Yeah. If you do see people out there and you see them giving out stuff, and if you need it, take it. That's what it's there for. Right? We didn't count it. Don't be too ashamed to take it. Right.

SPEAKER_07 25:29

Because you know, yeah, you miss you block your own blessings. Exactly. We did encounter a situation like that where there were these two dudes and we asked them if they wanted a care package, and one of them really wanted that care package, but then he asked his friend and he said, No, I don't want it. And he started like, you know, low-key going off. And you know, I really wish that he would have just taken it because he he needed it. And sometimes, you know, I can't force help on you. And so if you're not gonna accept the help, if you want to be a follower, that then you know, uh ultimately it stops you from you know receiving whatever God has for you.

SPEAKER_05 26:06

Following yourself to the down the wrong road.

SPEAKER_07 26:08

Right, right.
