Classroom Crush

This week it's another banger in a row folks!! Rebecca is joined by the very funny, very strong, and very flexible YEDOYE TRAVIS! Or just Yedoye. He's telling us all about the first and last time he told his dad about a girl, who you were "supposed" to have a crush on, changing schools and shifting racial dynamics, external pressures, and how sometimes when you're looking for a romantic connection, you might actually just need a friend. PLUS: can a liberated love exist under capitalism? When non consent is built into the culture how can we find agency/undermine the surveillance state? What are the origins of "ownage/pwnage" and are they racist (probably)? Did you know you have choices and revolution is on us? Will loosening the hips make you receive abundance? And soooOoOOOoOoo much more!!! Check out Yedoye's special FATHERLESS BEHAVIOR on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpu2sj-Y7xg&t=3431sFollow Yedoye on instagram at: @yedoye_Follow Rebecca on instagram at: @rebeccabulnz and the show at @classroomcrushpodSONGS: nice shoes/in your world - Steve LacySimple and Clean - Utada Hikaru (Kingdom Hearts soundtrack)
