Get Yourself a Nerd (w/Imara Jones from Translash Media) I Episode 209

We've got company! Imara Jones is back on the show after 4 years and filling us in on all her amazing accomplishments since we last spoke– including being named Time Mag's 100 Most Influential People in 2023.
 
But what we really get into with Imara is everything love and relationships. The current dating scene in New York, where she meets people, red and green flags, dating studs and MOCs, her blind spots, harmful stereotypes of trans women and why you should get yourself a nerd.
