On & Off Podcast with Ariel

By Ariel Barrow

This is a biweekly podcast that talks about living between. We’ll lead with the stories of First Generation Black people. People like me have had to code-switch, live in dual worlds, and turn aspects of our personalities “On and Off". More than that, so many of us turn ourselves “On and Off” every day just to keep moving. How are our emotions affected? What are the peaks and valleys of life that we harbor silently but need to start a dialogue about? Let's talk about all of it. Subscribe, leave a review, and tune in every other weekend to listen to On & Off with Ariel.

Chef JusBlaze - Part 1

I spoke with Brooklyn's own Chef JusBlaze this week. He talked me through some heavy experiences from his past and was super transparent with me about how he coped with loss and navigated the earlier stages of grief. I want to take the time to thank him for his story. Even if you can't relate directly, part one of my chat with him is a chat we all need to hear.

Peace, akb.

Let's Unlearn Together

My girl Joy and I interview over the internets about her background and being Dominican-American, born in New York. It's #BlackHistoryMonth but please don't make it just a hashtag. If you're Black, you are history and you live 3-6-5, ok? Happy February!

Stamppot + Pikliz

This episode comes to you in mid-January 2021. So by now, we know what 2020 brought and we are going in with our eyes opened, equipped with the knowledge that we gotta know better and do better. Mentally, physically and emotionally. I tap into that a little but we also get the chance to talk to my friend Jenny as she tells her family stories and how that’s shaped the woman she’s become. You'll find her heritage pretty unique and her story equally so.

Peace,

Ariel

FUBU

Not the clothing line but... for us, by us! Here's an official welcome to "On & Off Podcast with Ariel". I'm telling a little of my personal story here but I also dig a little into representation in the media, fangirling over Steve McQueen's genius, and a bit about what "On & Off" means to us. Thanks for listening! Please rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast to hear the latest episode every two weeks.

P.S. I listened to myself to edit this and the New York accent is HEAVY!

Peace, Ariel
