🌍 Aisha on Queer Travel, Colonialism & Building Safe Spaces 🏳️‍🌈
In this episode, we’re joined by Aisha to unpack identity, activism, and what it really means to move through the world as a Black queer woman. From reclaiming queer history to building inclusive spaces like The Common Press, this conversation is honest, powerful — and full of heart.
✈️ Travelling While Black & Queer – How Aisha navigates the world, challenges stereotypes, and finds queer joy everywhere.
🛡️ Safe Spaces Beyond the Club – Why LGBTQ+ community spaces need to be more than just nightlife — and how The Common Press became a sanctuary.
🧠 Colonialism & Queer Erasure – The real history they never taught us: queerness has always existed across African cultures.
