In our last episode of Season 3, we are joined by our producers (name of guest & title) in a conversation centering Black & Queer joy. We talk about what it means to be Black and Queer - two targeted identities, and their journey to claim (or reclaim) "radical" self-love in the intersections. Madison Butler is a New Englander at heart but moved to Austin in 2017. Her work is focused around creating equitable spaces and creating scalable strategies to achieve psychological safety. She is an outspoken advocate for mental health, removing stigma around trauma, DEI and the ability to be "human at work". She is passionate about facilitating hard conversations through storytelling, data and tough empathy. She works with companies to help transform their organization into spaces that are safe for everyone. Through this work she helps embed the principles and practices of equity into the DNA of your business structure and processes. Madison is committed to deconstructing the status quo and rebuilding corporate America, one organization at a time. Her mission is to ensure that no one ever feels like corporate spaces were not made for them, and they can live, work, and exist out loud. She is a start-up enthusiast and is passionate about building inclusive teams from the ground up with early stage companies. Madison is committed to helping change the narrative around what it looks like to be “human at work”, and hoping to help alleviate unconscious bias in corporate America.

Black and Queer on Campus offers an inside look at what life is like for LGBTQ college students on campuses across the United States. Michael P. Jeffries shows that Black and queer college students often struggle to find safe spaces and a sense of belonging when they arrive on campus at both predominantly white institutions and historically black colleges and universities. Many report that in predominantly white queer social spaces, they feel unwelcome and pressured to temper their criticisms of racism amongst their white peers. Conversely, in predominantly straight Black social spaces, they feel ignored or pressured to minimize their queer identity in order to be accepted. According to Jeffries, this fraught dynamic has an impact on Black LGBTQ students in higher education, as they experience different forms of marginalization at the intersection of their race, gender, and sexuality. Join us Jeffries provides a new, much-needed perspective on the specific challenges Black LGBTQ students face and the ways they overcome them, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
In this KEEN ON episode, Andrew talks to BLACK AND QUEER ON CAMPUS author Michael P. Jeffries about what life both is and ideally should be for LGBTQ students in America today. Michael P. Jeffries is Dean of Academic Affairs, Class of 1949 Professor in Ethics, and Professor of American Studies at Wellesley College. He holds a PhD from Harvard University and works at the intersection of race, culture, and politics. Dr. Jeffries is the author of four books. Black and Queer on Campus (NYU Press, 2023) provides an inside look at Black LGBTQ college students and their experiences. Behind the Laughs: Community and Inequality in Comedy (Stanford University Press, 2017) explores the world of professional comedy, where social and professional demands force artists to build strong communities in an industry divided along lines of race, class, and gender. Paint the White House Black: Barack Obama and the Meaning of Race in America (Stanford University Press, 2013) uses Obama's presidency to demonstrate how race relies on other social forces, like gender and class, for its meaning and impact. Thug Life: Race, Gender, and the Meaning of Hip-Hop (University of Chicago Press, 2011) puts the spotlight on hip-hop fans and describes how everyday listeners define hip-hop and use it in their lives.

There's a dream of the Bay Area as a place of liberation: queer liberation, Black liberation, trans liberation, liberation for all. It's a reputation that has pulled young people to the Bay Area for decades. But when Corey Antonio Rose moved to San Francisco from Jacksonville Florida in 2021 and searched for places that would embrace a young, gay Black man like himself, he was disappointed. In a series for the KQED podcast RightNowish, he looked at the history of those spaces in the Bay Area and the role of anti-blackness in the Bay Area's queer community. We'll talk with Rose about whether the Bay Area fails to live up to its reputation as a queer haven and how to find spaces that foster community and belonging. Guests: Corey Antonio Rose, producer and host of "Searching for a Kiki," a three-part series on the KQED podcast Rightnowish, KQED. Victoria Kirby York, deputy executive director, National Black Justice Coalition - a civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black LGBTQ+ people and co-sponsor of the Lavender Book, a directory of safe spaces. Don Romesburg, professor, Sonoma State University - whose expertise includes sexuality and gender in U.S. history, childhood and adolescence, transgender studies, race and sexuality, and queer performance and popular culture.

Nenna Joiner owns Feelmore, a queer-friendly sex toy shop with locations in Berkeley and Oakland. Noticing the lack of Black queer spaces beyond the monthly “RnB nights” at many local clubs, they decided to open the Feelmore Social Club in Downtown Oakland, a bar slated to open in 2022. “This energy that they feel in Feelmore is akin to the energy that they're going to feel here,” Joiner assures, “We want to be open a long time.” Joiner speaks about re-imagining the Black queer space, and the role of the Black queer dollar in the community.

You may know Brandon Kyle Goodman as a powerful social justice advocate from their podcasts and instrgram productions. Or you may know them from their acting and writing work on some of Netflix's most successful series including "Big Mouth" or the film "Feel the Beat". Today we talk to Brandon about their one-person stage production "The Latrell Show" with the IAMA Theater Company. The show is billed as a "dark comedy" that explores the mental aerobics of being Black and Queer in America by way of its title character, Latrell Jackson. For black and queer audience members, the show will make them feel seen, validated and heard. For white and non-black audience members, it is an exceptional tour into the mind of a black queer person and brings all the feelings to the forefront for them to encounter-- maybe for the first time. With co-host Brody Levesque

These include https://www.inthekeyofq.com/episode/ty-mckinnie-in-the-key-of-q (Ty McKinnie (episode 2)), https://www.inthekeyofq.com/episode/sadboy-in-the-key-of-q (SADBOY (episode 5)), https://www.inthekeyofq.com/episode/wuhryn-dumas-in-the-key-of-q (Wuhryn Dumas (episode 7)) and https://www.inthekeyofq.com/episode/the-izm (The IZM (episode 10)). There was a consistency of messaging coming out from these musicians about the unique (and often ignored) experience they encountered as Black, gay men living in America. These special bonus episodes were commissioned on the back of this. The two-part special is guest presented by Carrington Kelso, a Chicago-based Black, Queer singer whose own episode will drop on 20 July. He discusses this unique Queer identity with three guests: Ty McKinnie, The IZM and award-winning comedian Samson McCormick who is making his first appearance on the podcast. Each of the men provides a passionate, intelligent and truly individual perspective on the subject.

The weather is getting hotter and so is the dialogue between Nia & Ness! Listen in as the Black lesbian couple talks about masterbation, sex and orgasms, and how they're reclaiming these topics with their relationship. Content Warning:Nia here! Sexual assault is talked about at around 18 minutes into the podcast ( I said in the intro that it was about 10 minutes in...my bad!). I don't go into graphic details but I do talk about online encounters with older men when I was a preteen. Music by Garrett MillerAdditional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com

Even if all you know is the name—Extimité—of the French-language podcast that Anthony Vincent co-hosts with afrofeminist Douce Dibondo, you know a lot about this West Indies native. Extimité is like intimacy, he explains to Trae—but an exterior intimacy; an intimacy with the world. After studying literature at La Sorbonne and beginning his career in fashion journalism, Anthony was galvanized by the 2016 murder of Adama Traoré in Paris, and shifted his attention to include police brutality, queerphobia, and more. Examining racism, sexism, ableism, and colonialism through the lens of the fashion industry, Anthony and his community are eager to illuminate and repair the darker side of the postcard-perfect Paris ideal. This week's Chime In features Meysha and Skylar Wilkerson. This episode was produced by Linnea Ingalls & Julia Drachman and edited by Josh Berl.Find Anthony on Instagram at @anthonyvnct and Extimité at @extimitelepodcast

In our first interview of this week, Cazembe Jackson, a transman and anti-racist socialist organizer from Atlanta, speaks to how the American South is typically erased from activist conversations -- despite having some of the most practice in radical organizing under conservative administrations.
