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.

We also talk about their new book "Shameless" and  how we all can imagine new pathways toward healing and liberation. We want to hear from you!

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.

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.
