This week, YOUR META
's guest is the host of Midnight Medicine Journey, Jaguar Mary X!



We're uncovering what makes our fellow show-host tick, and the journeys and life-lessons that have shaped her into our favorite supplier of midnight medicine. We're also listening to and discussing one of Malcolm X's final interviews, our shared art school-refugee statuses, and the awesomeness of choosing the names we were born to embody! 
And if you're REALLY good listeners, FreedomWalker might share the first draft of her sci-fi fiction!

Spoiler alert: BEETLES RULE AND OTHER BUGS DROOL!
