Flavor of Love (w/ Mal Wright) | Episode 284

Mal Wright has been on our wishlist for a minute, and shooting our shot finally paid off. We get into her background, her time in ATL, how she earned her nickname, all things The Ultimatum: Queer Love, and what life was looking like post-show — including who was in her DMs and who she still keeps up with. We also talk the future of queer representation, her For Them/Autostraddle era, relationships, and being intentional with visibility. Shoutouts:Kris: Crissle’s Couch - Podcast and Black queer legend Crissle West’s new podcast has launched.
