The Blunt was honored to have award-winning blogger, community activist, author, kinkster, and feminist Feminista Jones sit down with the crew at the Sawtown Tavern for the debut episode of The Philly Blunt Podcast. Feminista’s writings have been featured in outlets such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, XO, Jane, Salon, EBONY, and Essence.

Feminista was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Philadelphia in 2017 and honored as one of the Top 100 Black Social Influencers by The Root. She also created the hashtag NMOS14, which led to a national moment of silence that included over 100 vigils in over 40 states.

We sat down at the Sawtown Tavern in Philly’s Tacony section, drank beers and bourbon, and talked about race relations, feminism, BDSM, anxiety, and much more before the infamous Philly Blunt segment, where we pepper her with a series of quick questions to be answered with the first thing that comes to Feminista’s brilliant mind. 

Our hosts, the Sawtown Tavern, are true visionaries. They are working to create a welcoming neighborhood watering hole where all races, genders, and sexuality are accepted and appreciated in a part of the city that isn’t always the most tolerant. They have a great selection of craft beers and may be the friendliest folks in the northeast. Sawtown runs a game night, quizzo, has live bands, and a pool table. The real draw is the energy of this place. All are welcome and the conversation is as interesting as you’ll find in the city.
