Ep98: Enthusiastic Yes or Bust Ft. Pat Smith & Lefty Lucy
Sometimes, personal goals get lost because we say yes to other people's goals without assessing whether or not they align with ours. Though there is something valuable to take from every experience, we have to constantly evaluate whether or not what we are currently doing is nourishing us or depleting us. J.Mix is joined by her talented friends, Pat Smith & Lefty Lucy, to talk shop about how they are prioritizing gigs and artistic experiences that nourish their purpose and goals. They also acknowledge their shared clinical diagnosis and how they nurture it whilst pursuing their endeavors. Lefty breaks down why she enthusiastically aligns her productions with historically marginalized communities at the forefront. Pat discusses the importance of finding creative spaces that allow artistic exploration and pursue the curiosities of life.

Ep97: Behind the Music: The Journey of "Circles 2.0”
J.Mix is a multi-hyphenate performing artist born & raised in New Orleans, LA. She is a Loyola University Music School graduate with over fifty theatrical credits since 2006. For the vast majority of her career, she's sung the tunes of other composers and songwriters in theatrical and classical spaces. Over the last three years, she has begun releasing original music and has found fulfillment & freedom in sharing herself in this way.On Friday, October 25th, her new(ish) single, "Circles 2.0” will be released on streaming services. It's "new(ish)" because this song is a re-imagining of the previous single “Circles” released with the Songwriter Collab in 2022. In her opinion, this latest iteration feels more like an accurate representation of who she is as an artist and of the sound/musical ideas she hopes to evolve into as her solo artist career grows.Enjoy this episode on her creative journey.Stay In The Mix on Social Media (IG & TikTok):Follow J.Mix @jmixplainsitallFollow The Self-Aware Millennial @theselfawaremillennialWanna give your thoughts about this episode?

Ep24: Do Dirty Redbones Have Light Skin Privilege?
On this week's episode, J.Mix is joined by two sensational NOLA actors, Monica R. Harris, and Martin "Bats" Bradford to discuss the perils of colorism in America, more specifically in New Orleans, where it runs unapologetically rampant in the black community. (SIDE NOTE: Colorism IS, in fact, underlined in red because it is, apparently not considered a real word.) They also discuss "light skin privilege" and why it should be taken with the same severity as the BLM Movement's efforts to address the existence of white privilege. The trio, furthermore, touch on how light-skinded BIPOC individuals can utilize their strengths to elevate the voices of their melanin-rich brothas and sisters. AND they explore their individual privileges and strengths in combating colorism in the BIPOC community. -Follow our guests on IG:Monica - @billiexojeanBats - @misterbats-Be sure to check out Bats and J.Mix on the latest episode (106) of "The FlyWithBats Podcast" on all major podcast streaming services!

QUICK PSA: If you're only here to hear the "Entanglements" portion of our conversation, please consider reminding your friends and followers that the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor have YET to be arrested... and then... you have our consent to scroll to 56:00. --In continuation with "Self-Accountability Month" J.Mix sits down remotely with roommates Julie Dietz and Megan Whittle to explore their histories with racial fetishization and how it compares and contrasts to their innate attraction to other races. On the contrary, all three compare their own encounters with folks non-consensually fetishizing their bodies in comparison to the model race that represents that specific fetish. --J.Mix also sheds light on how she, as a black woman, can tell if someone is fetishizing her versus if they are showing genuine attraction. The three ladies also discuss (IG) @alexand_erleon 's excellent post on Sexual Racism and Erika Hart's (IG) @ihartericka mind-boggling Facebook Status on the dangers of having a "preference" in dating.--Also discussed is their collective thoughts on playing the highly recommended dating game "Monster Match," branded as a dating website that exposes the explicit bias of algorithms. It scales down the plethora amounts of dating apps so that they’re easier to understand. Instead of millions of users, there’s just you, a real human being, and 100 imaginary monster profiles. As you swipe right (to like) and left (to dislike) profiles, they show you how the next profile you’ll see is affected.
