A Bunch of Gays Crying in Wales and Eating Brownies—S2E8



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.
