Pretty Thoughts
by Yasmine Adams
What's up, Pretty Thinkers? I'm Yasmine, and welcome to my podcast! Pretty Thoughts is a podcast centered around life. It's also a play on words—many of my thoughts aren't always "pretty." Here, emotions run wild. This is a space to have difficult, nuanced conversations. A space of self-expression and intentional vulnerability. Welcome to my mind! While I intend this to be a platform to get my thoughts and ideas across in a poetic way, this podcast is about imperfection and growth. Hopefully, you all enjoy the journey as much as I plan to, and remember, keep those thoughts pretty!

This is What Performative Activism Gets Us
I think the title of this episode speaks for itself. Rest in peace Breonna; you deserved more, and we failed you. Breonna, you were worth more, you deserved more, you needed more, and we failed you. This is what performative activism gets us, nothing. Breonna never had a chance, but that doesn’t...
