I've Got A Playlist For That!: Recent Episodes
Jessa Jordan
Jessa Jordan – a Black bisexual independent model (et al.) based in Philly – shares her passion for music and the hilarious, heartbreaking, and harmonious ways that there’s just always a song for every mood, move and memory we have! Joined by a carousel of fellow friends and family (whom include performers, writers, musicians, comedians, bartenders, artists, IT geeks, et. al), Jessa and co pick playlists each week that relate to a particular topic—like roadtrips, sex, breakups, cleaning, funerals, etc! Through sharing insights on the history of the music and minds behind it, Jessa and her guests dissect the human condition one track at a time!
This week marks the beginning of PRIDE Month and so Jessa is joined by Lucy Sweetkill -- a professional Dominatrix, kink educator, and life coach based in NYC. Lucy is a demisexual and described her process of finding and nurturing her alternative sexuality through kink exploration. The duo also unpack the often ignored playful side of BDSM, how sex health is the fastest growing industry a playlist called 2 AM Champagne and Whiskey, and the song behind the ultra badass name Sweetkill. Come for the kinks, stay for the aliens conversation at the end!
