On Revolutionary Love
Season 4, Introduction
On revolutionary love is an exploration of the stereotypes that often plague communities of color and how we as a collective have flipped those tropes on their heads in the past and in the present. Starting with the once deemed radical demonstration of self love with the Black Panthers to more common sayings of today, the demystification of: “black don’t crack”, “brown don’t frown”, “asian don’t raisin”. How truthful are these sayings? And how do we make these generalizations valid with generations of traditional self care practices? All of these questions will be answered in this episode. We'll also hear from Danielle Gray, a beauty expert and two other KSFam listeners. And if you didn't know already, POC self love IS revolutionary, so hop on for the ride and join the revolution.

JLo, Again? Latinx Love Onscreen
Season 4, Episode 2
Hopelessly romantic people are people who like to dream. Often, this means living out romantic fantasies through the film industry. But if you happen to be a Latinx person of color like this week's host, Fernanda, you might have noticed it's often hard to see yourself and the people of your community represented in romantic films. Latinx stories and characters in Hollywood have repeatedly been pushed to the margins. In today's episode, we're exploring exactly why that is and what it means to see more recognition and representation in Hollywood. Joining Fernanda is LA film critic and freelance writer, Carlos Aguilar (@carlos_film) to discuss movies, representation, and more in the Brown Breakdown.
