QBT is two queer babes talkin' mental health, pop culture, and whatever the hell else we want!
Join Shawny and Jerms each week as they chat openly about topics related to mental health, queerness, racism, wellness, current events, and how to navigate this life with more kindness and laughter. Shawny is a Black gay total babe working in social media with a Masters in Counseling and history of serving marginalized youth. Jerms is a white queer mullethead, current clinical MSW student, and former nightlife demon. Both living in Portland, OR, the two tackle complex topics with a lot of heart and wit. At QBT, we believe sharing our stories is a radical act, and are proud to be joined by queer practitioners, artists, and other fantastic folks that offer their experiences. We may be therapists, but we aren't your therapist, so please prioritize professional licensed help while navigating your own mental health journey. New episode every Wednesday!

S2E6: Candyman & Community Soil with David Grandfield
As we continue our series on Race, Racism, and Mental health, we are joined this week by botanist babe, David Grandfield. David shares with us his connection to plants and nature, the work she does to foster community investment in land management, and all the tension between government systems and natural processes. Up front, Shawny and Jerms chat the new CANDYMAN (x5). Don't forget to subscribe, share, and submit those 5-star reviews! Your support keeps us going.
