My sophomore album is a tribute to all my romantic relationships that didn't make it to the shore and to all my romantic relationships that cast me adrift. One album to ruin them all. My precious.

THIS WEAK! with Sanyu Estelle & Katarra LaRae

Episode 5: ON THE BACKS OF BLACKNESS

We are OF the culture, we speak on the culture, we speak on the world and we speak on ourselves. Plus we compare how we each feel about the current state of affairs!

On this Episode of “THIS WEAK!”:

Sanyu and Katarra are back for episode 5 of “THIS WEAK!” After years of friendship fortified by heartfelt and salient sociological discourse in our hashtag DM’s, we are continuing to share the wealth of our words. Given that we’re both water-signs, our conversation flows, indeed. 
.
This episode, entitled “On The Backs of Blackness,” explores the nuanced intersections of some sociological “‘isms.” How do patriarchy and sexism hurt men? What do Billie Eilish, Akwafina, and Lil Dicky all have in common? How is Katarra just now seeing “The Fifth Element?” We tackle all that and more, and we welcome you along for the journey. 
.

“THIS WEAK!” is available on Spotify and SoundCloud, check us ouuuut! #Bless

THIS WEAK with Sanyu Estelle - Episode 1

Pigmented, womoonist (as constant as the tides), cissy (femme and fem), flexible asexual (it's a spectrum, seems unwise to call it), travel-apt (Earth is a country) and fashion forward (Funk Flag Flyage) SSJW (Sarcastic Social Justice Warrior). 

I'm your forebears attainable unreality.
