A new episode of Open Deeply Podcast dropped today! Babatunde Akinboboye, A.K.A. The HipHopera Guy, joins @opendeeplywithkateloree & myself, to tell his captivating life story. When @babatunde_hiphopera weaves operatic excellence seamlessly with hiphop & trap beats, you can see him brimming over with passion and joy. But you'd never suspect the intense struggles he's overcome. His early childhood was filled with love but brutally shifted to one of abuse, struggles with undiagnosed ADHD, and feeling hopeless. Snuck out Nigeria by benevolent family intervention and whisked away to the U.S. Babatunde found joy in music. But he also contended with American racism, not just in school, but also the opera community. Banatune tells us how he and the Black Opera Alliance, fought the old school opera establishment-- Plus how it lead to his groundbreaking, mega-viral hiphopera style.

The latest episode of Open Deeply Podcast dropped this week. Jimanekia Eborn makes my heart sing! She’s also back as our guest for her second episode.   Each guest on Open Deeply is featured on two episodes. In the first they tell their life story focusing on the pivotal things that changed them. The second episode is devoted to dissecting the patterns and influences that played a central role in their life.  This week, @jimanekia talks with @opendeeplywithkateloree and me about everything from her unexpected connection to pro wrestling, her philosophy on the importance of positive destruction, along with her desire to “f*ck up and rebuild the s3x ed community” (a rally cry we can all get behind for the good of humankind). She fleshes out her vision for the future that includes continuing her crucial life’s work Tending the Garden, a retreat for survivors of marginalized identities-- as you’ll hear a little bit about in this clip.

Did you catch Ep 20 of Open Deeply podcast? @opendeeplywithkateloree & me talk with @lenoraclaire in her first of 2 episodes with us. Lenora once led a Felliniesque life, orchestrating amazing art shows like “Golden Girls Gone Wild,” associating with colorful celebrities, and creating some of the best parties Hollywood had to offer. But “P.T. Barnum with B00bs” would soon have a new calling and a new moniker.  In 2001 she was named one of L.A. Weekly’s people of the year. However, the bliss that came with that recognition was soon followed by terror as a dangerous stalker became fixated on her. This person had a long history of stalking other celebrities like Ivanka Trump and Kim Cardasian. Lenora was shocked to learn that despite being arrested, jailed, institutionalized, and served numerous restraining orders for this behavior, he was able to keep fixating on new targets.  In this episode Lenora tells us how she fought back. As a result, she's now known as the "Erin Brockovich of Stalking." She not only advocates for herself, but also for the 7.5 million Americans who are currently being stalked. Lenora talk about what she's doing to change the legal system, law enforcement protocol, and the entertainment industry.

Did you catch episode 16 of #OpenDeeplyPodcast yet? Award winning Disability Awareness Consultant, Andrew Gurza, joins @opendeeplywithkateloree & me to share three poignant stories from his life. The first takes us to his early childhood to the first moment that he really felt the emotional weight of his disability. This difficult story is interwoven with the wonderful humor Andrew is famous for.  In the second story, he recounts the first time he had sex as a qu33r and disabled young man in college with such transparency and vulnerability that we feel everything right there with him; the excitement, the struggle, and the pain.  In his third story, he exuberantly rolls down the red carpet as his purpose and importance as a qu33r, disabled activist becomes crystal clear.  In this interview, and as always, @andrewgurza_ is brimming over with full tilt loveability, humor, and naughtiness in the best possible way. This is Andrew’s first of two episodes with us--he’ll be back again in episode 17 too.   You can find it at http://opendeeplypodcast.com or on any streaming/podcast cast service like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.  Also should out to Andrew-- last week his long-running podcast, Disability After Dark, won Outstanding Adult Series at the 2021 Canadian Podcast Awards.
