In this episode, we discuss Jewel's love language (words of affirmation), her powerful and important work organizing black/queer/trans party spaces (A Ratchet Realm), the influences that impacted the expression of her sexuality and much more. Jewel was such an open, lovely, fierce guest!
Raised by a Haitian single mother in Brooklyn East New York, Jewel Cadet is a vibrant virgo force to be reckoned with. Multi-awarded (Featured in #BETQueerAF: 29 Days of Black Queer Excellence) both locally and nationally for her activism and community organizing, Jewel thrives on supporting the Black Queer, Trans & GNC Community. From curating monthly liberated party spaces called “A Ratchet Realm”, where the Black Queer and Trans Community can get their lives on the dance floor to creating free dance fitness classes full of twerking and whining, she boldly claims her right to take up space in this world. As a speaker and educator she is dynamic and engaging while being vulnerable to her experiences as an Intimate Queer Partner Violence Survivor. As a self-proclaimed Ratchet Revolutionary, Jewel is a Black Queer Woman who will tell you like it is, unapologetically.

LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.
