Cocoon After Dark
There’s a certain kind of story we only tell in the dark.
The kind that lingers. The kind we’ve carried in silence. The kind that needs soft lighting, no interruptions, and someone who won’t flinch.
Welcome to Cocoon After Dark—I’mQuincy Tessaverne, and this is a space for truth-telling that’s tender, textured, and unapologetically queer.
Each week, we sit with voices—mostly Black, brown, LGBTQ+—who’ve lived through things that don’t always fit into polite conversation.
We talk identity, pleasure, boundaries, grief, reinvention, and the moments that changed everything.
This isn’t small talk. It’s soul talk.
So take what you need. Leave what you don’t. And listen with your whole body.

The Grit of Global Streets - Skating, Sponsorships & Showing Up Fierce
We meet Jade Azevedo tonight- skater, dreamer, mosh pit lover. They have just enough punk to flip the script. They once broke their back in the mosh pit at a Bikini Kill concert. Loves their mom's cooking, and yes, they did get into a huge brawl... at a bar... wearing fishnets.
Their queer skate crew is their heartbeat, chosen family, and the foundation for a radical vision: a skate shop where you pay what you can afford, so the next generation of skaters isn't left out on the asphalt and builds community over competition.
This is a story about rebellion, resilience, and the queer grit of global streets. Welcome to Cocoon After Dark.
You can find Jade skateboarding across LA in skateparks and on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/sapphicsskatela/
