Together they unpack personal growth, wellness, identity, justice, and survival. Grounded in Carmen’s own journey from corporate banking to creative activism, the show is a sanctuary for authenticity, transformation, and connection. The Lavender Lounge Reloaded also shines a spotlight on queer-owned businesses and freelancers, offering a rare platform for visibility and global reach. More than a radio show, The Lavender Lounge Reloaded is a revolution in sound - a weekly retreat and rallying cry for Queer liberation, healing, and truth.
