Queer is Here to Stay with Ronnie - Episode 02 with Racheal Wu (they/them)
Channel: planksip®
Date: 2021-12-19

Hi, my name is Ronnie, I identify as two-spirit. I am gender non-conforming, non-binary and asexual. Straight from the background; science is real, women's rights are human rights, black lives matter, the news isn't fake, no human is illegal, love is love, and kindness is everything. #loveislove #lgbt #Googleplanksip

I have to tell you about planksip and all the wonderful work they are doing for me. I contribute to planksip regularly, the pay is decent, but the friendships I am building are the important thing for me. As a freelance writer and now podcaster I am working with a great team at planksip and also meeting some really interesting people. If you are considering getting your ideas out there, possibly doing a series like that one I am producing, then consider joining planksip's membership cooperative. If you use the link in the description below, just tell them Ronnie sent you!

********************************
Welcome to my channel, where my passion for philosophy drives every discussion, reflection, and exploration. Whether you're here to dive deep into ancient wisdom, explore modern interpretations, or broaden your intellectual horizons, you're in the right place.

I am thrilled to share my journey in philosophy with you, especially through my latest work, Plato Re-Imagined, which I co-authored with Dr. Martine Diepenbroek, a Classics & Ancient History Research Fellow from the University of Johannesburg. This book is more than just a scholarly endeavor; it represents a bridge between ancient philosophical traditions and contemporary thought, offering fresh insights into Plato's timeless dialogues.

If you want to go even deeper, I invite you to explore our companion course, available exclusively through planksip® Academy. This course is designed to challenge your understanding, encourage critical thinking, and bring the wisdom of the past into meaningful conversation with the present.
