<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2390511/open_sms">Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!</a>What happens when your home suddenly turns to ash and you're thrust into a whirlwind of uncertainty and self-discovery? Join us as we navigate the phenomenal journey of Jordiana Fabulous, a gender-expanding artist and guide whose life was upended by the sale of their New Orleans home. With symbols of personal rituals like a rooster's claw in hand, Jordiana embraced the chaos and magic of traveling through Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, and several African countries, revealing the transformative power of finding oneself amidst upheaval and instability. As we share our own experiences of financial and housing challenges, compounded by the pandemic, we discuss the interplay between personal growth and professional milestones. Safety precautions and unique challenges faced by Black queer travelers during the pandemic are also front and center as we explore the intricacies of airports and border crossings. From understanding the African diaspora in places like Brazil and South Africa to the unexpected affinities discovered in Korea and Japan, these journeys provide a deep dive into cultural understanding and personal transformation. Throughout, we examine the indispensable role of community amidst the turmoil of a global crisis. Whether it's the strength found in queer support networks or the necessity of mutual aid, these connections have been a lifeline. From reflecting on the insidious relationship between capitalism and community to exploring multiple sources of income, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, belonging, and the ongoing quest for home. Join us for a conversation that promises insights into the intersection of ancestry, mental health, and the evolving journey of self-discovery.Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family. IG: @The_Trauma_Within Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetraumawithin Jimanekia Ig: @Jimanekia
