EID MUBARAK, FEMME FAM! For our final guest episode of the season, we are closing out with a bang. Listen in for the last episode in the Pride Series, with none other than Usman Khalid. A Lahore native, Usman now resides in DC where he writes prolifically about his experience as a Pakistani queer man. Mehak and Faiza delve deep with Usman into his journey through both culture and religion, his heart wrenching coming out story (which coincidentally happened on Eid), and the empathy he has for elders in the community who struggle to understand, accept and support queerness. All super heavy tings, we adore Usman and this conversation was such a delight.

Tere Jeya Hor Disda,  NESCAFE Basement, Season 4, Episode 1

SORRY FOR OUR ABSENCE LOVIES. we felt compelled to do another episode on saudi, islamophobia, and the general absence of sanity in today's world. this one's for the outrageous mass shia executions by saudi, the attacks in paris, the killings in san bernandino, the kidnapping and burnings in nigeria, and other assorted acts of insanity. you can probably expect a few more of these episodes so long as saudi, boko haram, isis, trump, and the NRA continue to torture our brains. apologies in advance?
