For people who live between labels and worlds and refuse to disappear there. Embracing All of Me (EAoM) tells intimate stories of identity, desire, creativity, and becoming, rooted in bi+, fluid, and bisexual experience and shaped by global communities of color. Through conversations with storytellers, artists, writers, advocates, and cultural workers, host Ross Victory explores life “in between”: resisting erasure, bashing binaries, widening belonging, and inviting anyone pursuing wholeness to navigate complexity with honesty. A two-time 2026 Communicator Award-winning platform.Ross Victory 社会科学

    S3. E43: Figgy Baby on Queer Mexican Identity, Fearless Rap, Ancestral Reckoning, and Creating Bangers for the End of the World
    2026/07/07
    In this episode of Embracing All of Me, host Ross sits down with Figgy Baby, Neighborhood rap star. Global Spice Boi, themself, the internationally touring rapper, writer, performer, and self-described creator of “the soundtrack for the end of the world.” Figgy’s work moves between protest and pleasure, grief and bangers, Mexican identity and mixed-race ambiguity, gender play and cultural memory. Ross and Figgy chat about AI and artist exploitation, growing up in L.A., police encounters, ancestral lineage, queerness, masculinity, and the page as a place where freedom can arrive before the body is ready to live it.This conversation isn't only about music. It's about what artists carry, what communities survive, and what it means to build a "self" out of contradiction without asking permission. We get into:Growing up social, defiant, and shaped by service, From getting kicked out of class to working in food pantries and Planned Parenthood, Figgy traces how community, rebellion, and curiosity formed the artist before the bars.Mixed-race identity, police, and growing up in LA, being stopped by police, and how songs like “Shortcut,” “Mr. Baron,” and “Riot Gear” document the policing of young Brown bodies.Lineage, ancestors, and queer Latinx artistic inheritance: Ross and Figgy chat about the jacaranda tree and heart imagery on Mixed Race Mixtape, ancestral reckoning, Miguel Piñero, Chavela, John Leguizamo, and the rituals that keep a creative lineage alive.Gender, masculinity, and the oh so fearless bars. Figgy unpacks the line “Throw me in a dress, I’ll still lean like a cholo,” explaining how ambiguity became a superpower and how queerness, swagger, and cultural commitment can coexist. Figgy shares that they were “queer on the page” before being queer in real life, describing the page as their longest relationship and a place where vulnerability, truth, and future selves can be rehearsed.Figgy previews Where Did All the House Parties Go?, a project rooted in the reminder that joy is not a distraction from struggle.

  • Come Sit With Us: For Anyone Who's Multiple Things at Once

    Come Sit With Us: For Anyone Who's Multiple Things at Once
    2026/07/05

    Ever felt like different versions of you show up in different rooms? Too much for one crowd, not quite enough for another? In this solo episode, Ross explores what it means to live as something layered and hard to categorize, and why bisexuality (as a lens) is just one of many ways to embrace being a contradictory, unfinished work in progress. If you've ever felt like you always find yourself sitting alone at a lunch table, this is your invitation to pull up a chair.

  • S3.E42: Rules of the Game: Kelly Zúñiga on Building Wealth of Wallet, Mind, and Community

    S3.E42: Rules of the Game: Kelly Zúñiga on Building Wealth of Wallet, Mind, and Community
    2026/06/30

    Who gets taught the rules of the game when it comes to money, and who gets left to figure them out alone?


    In this episode of Embracing All of Me, Ross sits down with Latina financial coach Kelly Zúñiga to unpack the inherited money stories shaping how we move through the world. For first-generation professionals, Latinas, creatives, and communities of color, money is rarely about numbers alone. It's about survival, sacrifice, family responsibility, identity, shame, and the belief that if we just work hard enough, everything works out.

    But what if wealth isn't simply about "grinding harder?" What if real empowerment means learning the rules of the game, questioning the scripts we inherited, and building a life rooted in self-trust, joy, and community care?

    Kelly grew her investment portfolio from zero to over $135,000 while helping clients move from money avoidance to money confidence. Together they explore the realities of wealth-building for BIPOC communities, and why access to financial knowledge is itself a form of equity.


    We get into:


    • The "rules of the game" nobody taught us: why wealth-building knowledge circulates through privilege and proximity, and what happens when BIPOC communities claim access.


    • Inherited money scripts and survival strategies: from "work harder" and "save for emergencies" to becoming your family's retirement plan, and how to decide which still serve you.


    • Moving from scarcity to self-trust: why financial confidence starts with honesty and small acts of courage rather than perfection.


    • Wallet activism and micro-actions that build the future we want: how everyday choices about where we spend and invest can strengthen communities of color.


    • Why wealth is bigger than your bank account: wealth of wallet, mind, and community through freedom, rest, belonging, and the room to imagine different possibilities.


    • The hidden emotional costs of silence: what money shares with conversations about race, sexuality, grief, and identity, and why breaking those taboos matters.


    • Permission to redefine success: letting go of inherited expectations around marriage, homeownership, status, and productivity to build a life that fits who you are.
