Archetypes, Shame Cycles & The White Gaze: Josh Rivers

We're BUSY BEING BLACK! This week we sit down with Josh Rivers, creator and host of the award-winning podcast Busy Being Black, a platform centring queer Black joy, intimacy, spirituality and political consciousness.Josh shares the origin story behind Busy Being Black, from a deeply personal dark night of the soul to building one of the most vital spaces for queer Black storytelling in the UK and beyond. We explore identity politics, shame, desire, anti-Blackness, and why visibility alone will never be liberation.This is a conversation about spirit, softness, political awakening and remembering who you are beneath the labels.If you’ve ever questioned your identity, your desires, or your place in the world, this episode is for you.Follow us on Social Media:TikTok: @AMAABFInstagram: @AMAABF
