DJ Ms. Mada on Life, Music, and LGBTQ Advocacy

I don't want to pretend I'm an activist when I'm not. But it's yeah, and like, I mean, the bullying part needs to change, and I think that comes with, you know, education and, I guess, being exposed to like limiting social media.
Michelle Chaffardet sits down with Filipino-born, Miami-raised DJ Rachel Tumada, also known as Ms. Mada, in this episode of The Mindful Space. Rachel opens up about her experiences as an LGBTQ woman navigating the music industry, sharing both the highs and lows of her journey. From gaining acceptance to building a supportive community at Club Space in Miami, Rachel's story is both inspiring and eye-opening.
She talks candidly about how music has been a cathartic force in her life and discusses the pros and cons of working in the industry. Beyond her career, Rachel is a passionate advocate for LGBTQ rights and emphasizes the importance of supporting LGBTQ youth. She addresses the challenges of bullying within the community and suggests that education and limiting social media exposure can be part of the solution.
Michelle provides a welcoming space for Rachel to share her reflections, making this episode a hopeful reminder of the power of breaking stigmas around mental health and LGBTQ identities.
