I am mildly embarassed to say that as a newly out women, I fit much of the "bright-eyed" character that Olive portrayed (sans women's studies experience). However, I am more delighted to know that this very real topic was brought up about how it might feel for someone who has recently come out. Dr. G. Love's input was appreciated. And the role playing wasn't bad either! THANK YOU. I totally feel that there should be "newly out" support groups for folks, and I am completely being serious. I still don't consistently "claim" any one particular identity, though I know how I feel about and with women - sexually and not. I've chosen to identify often times as "queer", though, yes, I have been getting acquainted with the politics around that ... and sometimes I still identify as bi because .... one doesn't know yet what the future holds ... My point is, it has been helpful for me to just admit to my green-eyed-ness and just go with it!! So, I'm new to the life ... And, yes, I'm still reading Audre Lorde (proudly so) ... and more than anything I SO respect the idea of journey ... and I'm grateful for that. Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ... your podcasts are NECESSARY. Best ... ;-0 Wow!

THANK YOU. I totally feel that there should be “newly out” support groups for folks, and I am completely being serious. I still don’t consistently “claim” any one particular identity, though I know how I feel about and with women – sexually and not. I’ve chosen to identify often times as “queer”, though, yes, I have been getting acquainted with the politics around that … and sometimes I still identify as bi because …. one doesn’t know yet what the future holds …

My point is, it has been helpful for me to just admit to my green-eyed-ness and just go with it!! So, I’m new to the life … And, yes, I’m still reading Audre Lorde (proudly so) … and more than anything I SO respect the idea of journey … and I’m grateful for that. Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU … your podcasts are NECESSARY. Best … ;-0

My questions for Dr. G Love: How do I go about arranging a session with you? What do you recommend for starting the healing process on my own? My sexual confidence has been shattered by my recent ex-lover. Are there any books I could be reading, thought-processes I should be engaged in? Thank you. Great great podcast!

My questions for Dr. G Love:

How do I go about arranging a session with you?

What do you recommend for starting the healing process on my own? My sexual confidence has been shattered by my recent ex-lover. Are there any books I could be reading, thought-processes I should be engaged in?

Thank you.

Now I...well I don't know what the heck I am right now. So I don't even know how to identify myself. Lets just say I think all my life although I've denied it to myself most of my life I have been a same gender loving individual, which is why I probably couldn't relate to men well sexually. Anyway I am 43 now and for the past three years, maybe really two for sure, I've been identifying myself as bisexual although I really haven't been feeling the connection with men. Anywhoo I connected with your show soooo much because it is really like a buraq for me. An instrument that carries me in a world outside my closet (for religious affiliated reasons and certain loose loyalties). Meshell Ndegeocello's music was like the vortex that drew me into the reality of what was going on with me. It touched me like a DNA explosion and tapped into my biorhythm. And it was like from then on I was this new person...much sadder because I like the individual Olive talked about that took her life because she felt she could not come out face similar issues. I wrote a poem called Songs of Suhailah that expresses my daily sentiments that read. "I thought discovering you was a gift, but now I sift through images and places where my mind drifts when you play in my ear and you make me feel alone. Enslaved by your tones resonating in my soul and I yearn to have her near. With tenacious craving my body cries substitute with lies and illusions and I can only dream of touching her, kissing her in that ethereal place....When I opened you, you opened me so wide, no longer hide, I set bare my secret inside a gibbet upon my face. When you look at me really what you see is the reality of your minds eye images as real as anything tangible. Therewith I structure that state and recreated that beautiful and burn it on my mental plate; a desperate attempt to implore the physical. What the f@@@k is this? What path have I dismissed to detour in this abyss tormented by loneliness and void and I'm drowning in it. This redundant session of depression. F@@@k this confession, staring down a steel barrel I wish I had the courage to put an end to this sh@@t. It's amazing what the power of tone can do. Can't blame you. You have to admit it's true. You have a gift more positive than you probably even know. Peace My Sistah Keep the flow. (and although Me'shell's music has taken a recent not so appealing term this still holds true to here more passionate sultry soulful work.) By the way I think Lesbianism is sooo much more than same gender sex. Its a mutual overstanding between two species that can not be shared outside that gender. And Hanifah I love your music and your style. Finally it is so refreshing to watch you to, Olive and Hanifah and anxiously anticipate more episodes. I wish you could be picked up by Logos or...well I don't have Here. but them as well. Much Love Sistahs I am not even sure how I discovered your show, but from one broadcast I was hooked and had to backtrack and view them all. Now I…well I don’t know what the heck I am right now.
