    Asiahn is such a spark ❤️ This episode was really sweet, funny, emotional, powerful. I loved the "I'm just singing about love" quote and the patriarchy/racism/sexualization/physical appearance conversation. It's actually heart warming to hear almost of all the guests telling they feel like they should be proud of themselves and go out there especially for the younger generations, to give what they didn't have growing up. And I'm definitely grateful for all of you, I'm almost 21, proud, out, I love myself and one of the reasons is representation, seeing so many different artists embracing who they are ❤️❤️

    Definitely felt that.. with most wanting masculinity and not femme seriously... like they think either they are playing or don't know certain things.. some people will never know how amazing fems are or be able to indulge in the amazing mental and physical capabilities we have.. but it's all good..this use to happen to me in the beginning until i just learned to relax.. i realized those certain people wasn't met for me.. but Asiahn omggg that song drip... why did you have to do that to us 😂😂😂...

    I think it is very important to see representation and diversity amongst artists and it's great that the industry is starting to change. However, musically speaking, for me, I think the most magical thing about music is its ability to unite people who may have absolutely nothing in common in other ways, and yet they somehow love the same artist. This creates a bond and brings people together, people who may never come together in any other way. Freddie Mercury and Elton were pretty out there, and being gay was certainly less accepted back then...yet I bet a large portion of their fans were probably pretty homophobic (just cuz of the era in general). I'm not saying things were better then socially, cuz they certainly weren't, but there is something pretty magical about an artist who can unite so many people who would be in opposition to them in every way in normal circumstances. But that's just me! What do I know :p Love what your doing Kittens! Keep it up 😊
