A Place to Scream

If you're driving, put it in park- if you're standing, please be sat. Because today, we are ripping off the bandaid and diving in heart first into the scary wounds of commitment. It is one thing to be committed to liberation on a practical, more logic driven, level, but what does it mean to be dedicated to what Toni Cade Bambara refers to as "the radicalized self"? What does it...

It seems that with every new micro-trend or social phenomena our society is thrust into yet another battle against "loserdom". We are told that our human response to inhuman behavior is "cringe" and that our desire to connect will eventually lead to betrayal and heartbreak. Armchair tik-tok therapist tell us to exercise boundaries and insta info-graphics break down in 5 clear s...

Buckle up kids, cause you're in for a ride!  Why should I accept and herald the pilfered art of a colonized people presented to me through the gaze and institutional backing of whiteness? Well, we don't! And on today's episode you're gonna hear exactly why.  It is time to deprogram from the centering of mediocre culture "creation" that does nothing but steal, co-opt o...

Happy Black History Month, Lunar New Year & Ramadan Mubarak !! Today's episode is one that we took great pleasure in recording and hope that the ideas and topics brought up in this discussion go beyond our microphones and your speakers.  What is your 'why'? How did you come to your belief systems? What are we doing to expand what our ancestors in liberation have laid out before...

New Year, Same Astrological Mayhem !! It is our first episode of 2026 and we are  reflecting on the spiritual battles endured in 2025, listing some of our 'ins and outs' for 2026 and indulging in reading  our respective astrological horoscopes (provided by Alice Sparkly Kat) for the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. Fascism is formulaic, but as the late Octavia Butler insists, &...

We are back for part two of The Fear Is Scary, and this time it is story time here at A Place To Scream studios! It's time to chat about gig economies and the absolute nightmare we endure as service workers in the trenches. Should there be a mandatory draft for working in the service industry? Will we ever know what truly constitutes a london fog? All of this and more on this week's epis...

Welcome to the kiki! (well, sort of)  Disoriented but holding true to our word, we are reporting live from the midst of our respective chaos of work, gigs and the ever tormenting demons, to catch up and chat about artistry following the news of the newly added ancestor, D'Angelo. We question why it seems as though the priority of legacy has evaded our current day's discourse on music and...

Unfortunately, it is the d*mn phones! It's another day on G*d's forsaken internet. We are tired, disillusioned, and fed up. Through the lenses of class and poetic memory we share discourse on our early exposures and experiences with the internet, how our modern world exists in two distinct cultural worlds with opposing demands of being. In this episode, we ask, how do we create spaces wi...

We are back with the second installment of "Tried The "Villain Era" Again And Failed !  This week, Jita and Safara dive deeper into the implications of coopted aesthetics and white performance, as well as speculate what this capitalism machine requires of us who belong to the culture holders who insist on their stories being told from their own mouths, and their own movements.  Find...

What constitutes a villain? What makes a hero?  Join us this week as we set out to investigate just what the hell is a “villain era” and why on earth is it never afforded to folks who look like us ?? This is part one of this villainous inquiry so stay tuned for the forthcoming part. 2 for the continued discourse.  tip jar:  https://account.venmo.com/u/Safara_Parrott jita : @lagnajita14 saf: @safar...
