DC Black Pride, Chasing Pleasure, and Freedom Ain't Free
Manage episode 485288118 series 3655040
This week, your Overthinker-in-Chief Karmen Michael Smith spirals into a layered reflection on freedom—not just political, but personal, embodied, and spiritual.
From a conversation about emotional well-being, to the joy and tension of DC’s Black Pride, to the cost of sexual liberation in a world that polices Black queer bodies, this episode asks:
What are we calling “freedom”… that’s actually just well-dressed captivity?
Karmen weaves scripture, history, and lived experience into a moving reflection on desire, disruption, and what we’re really chasing when we chase pleasure.
