We interrupt your current pandemic programming to bring you a new episode of The Peak, which was recorded in the before-times, last December.

In this episode, Ursula talks about her work with the organization Girls with Grit, a non-profit working to prevent sex trafficking through education. She also discusses growing up in a small, gossipy community where the preacher’s infidelity was the talk of the town, surviving sexual abuse as a child, and how listening to female hip-hop artists like Missy Elliot and Salt-N-Pepa has helped her find confidence in herself and in her sexuality as a black woman.

In this week’s episode, we are joined with Lauren Zuniga, a queer, femme, Okie poet. In this conversation, Lauren recites poems, discusses being a queer parent in Oklahoma, and shares her tips for making good sex good (and the one thing to avoid). There’s laughter, tears, and gasps of amazement.

Despite the upheaval of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, The Peak plans to continue to create and release new content exploring how human beings can find intimacy, practice safe sex, and connect to ourselves sensually in a time where social distancing is a public health necessity.
