Episode notes

What if archiving wasn’t about nostalgia - but devotion?

This week on Unapologetic About That, we sit with Sara, aka DJ Rio Bambaa, a friend of the show, a queer DJ, death doula, and community weaver. We talk about transition and the sacred act of remembering. From moving sapphic dance floors in Brooklyn to answering a spiritual call in Austin, Sara shares what it means to honor the past without living in it.

We talk about how archiving is care and how preserving our stories, our playlists, our grief, and our evolution is an act of resistance and love. As a death doula, Sara reminds us that endings deserve witnesses. As a DJ, she teaches us that playlists deserve witnesses, too.

This episode is for those leaving cities, identities, lovers, or old versions of themselves. Archiving is care. Remembering is resistance. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is document your own becoming. Let’s gooo - year of the horse, baby.
