Welcome to the first episode of Season 3. I am starting the season off with a solo episode because I needed to be vulnerable with you as we head into 2024.

In this episode I explain:

* My absence and the absence of new episodes at the end of the year

* Share with you some exciting news. (spoiler alert, I bought an Aerial Studio)

* Get super vulnerable about my mental health over the holidays and my fears for the future

* Share my thoughts about the new movie "The Color Purple" (spoiler alert its amazing)

* And give you my new mantra for 2024 (spoiler alert its a song from the movie)

I hope you like this episode and don't mind that I shared some personal shit with you. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed please reach out and maybe we can help each other.

Always remember I love you...you beautiful HEAUX

Can you be sexy in your golden years? Society tends towards a big "NO!" to that question. Is there a place for the Senior Community inside the wider Aerial Community? If you asked that question you might respond with an "I don't know". The answer to that question was unchartered territory until the beautiful and talented Mica Saunders came along, threw convention to the wind and began teaching Pole Dancing and Chair Dancing at her local Senior Centers in Baltimore, MD. But lets face it, as talented as she is, Mica would not have been successful if there weren't students willing to take her class.

She brought Pole Dancing to the senior community in Baltimore, and that community said "Yes, please". From this the amazing dance troupe "8 Grannies and 1 Grandpa" was born. If you attended PoleCon 2023, you had the awesome opportunity to see these folks perform. They were amazing. I can't like, when the song "Brickhouse" came on, I thought the audience was going to come unglued. It was so much fun.

This episode highlights all the wonderful dancers from the "8 Grannies and 1 Grandpa" troupe. They introduce themselves, tell their story and talk about why and how the decided taking a Pole Dancing class would be a good idea. The conversation is awesome and we laughed a lot. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed interviewing them.
