Podcast appearances and mentions of Gabby Rivera

Gabby Rivera is a writer, podcast host, and storyteller. Her young adult novel Juliet Takes a Breath was critically acclaimed and she is the first Latina to write for Marvel comics, bringing superhero America Chavez to life. Gabby's work often combines experiences  from her own past, the political realities of present-day America and the future she envisions for her queer kin. The stories she writes work to correct the lack of narratives like her own – growing up queer within a religious, Puerto Rican family in the Bronx. Isa Nakazawa discusses how Gabby's Aquarius moon eventually led her to embrace a radical softness and vulnerability that now defines her personal life and writing.

Gabby Rivera joins Marlon and special guest co-host, Meghan Joseph, for Episode 15! Gabby Rivera is a Bronx-born queer Puerto Rican babe on a mission to create the wildest, most fun stories ever. Gabby is the author of Juliet Takes a Breath and the first Latina ever to write for Marvel comics, penning the solo series AMERICA about America Chavez, a portal-punching queer Latina powerhouse.

When Gabby Rivera wrote her coming-of-age novel “Juliet Takes a Breath” in 2016, she didn't know that it would get her attention from an unusual place: Marvel Comics. They asked her to write for America Chavez, their first queer Latina superhero. Gabby said yes. But as she was writing for their superhero, she found herself swept up in #comicsgate, an online harassment campaign against the comic book industry's efforts to include more women, people of color, and LGBTQ characters. In this "Portrait Of," Maria talks to Gabby about her beginnings as a writer, her difficult experience with #comicsgate, and about returning to comic book writing. This episode originally aired in June of 2019.

Original broadcast date: September 9, 2022. In an era dominated by labels, how can we fully embrace the nuances of being human? This hour, TED speakers share ideas for reconciling conflicting emotions and circumstances to make art and find joy. Guests include authors Gabby Rivera and Susan Cain, musician and podcast creator Hrishikesh Hirway, and Olympian Allyson Felix.

For this week's Latino USA, we're bringing you an episode from the newly released podcast series from WNYC Studios and Futuro Studios, La Brega, The Puerto Rican Experience in Eight Songs. Gabby Rivera was 7 when Willie Colón released “El Gran Varón” in 1989. She remembers her father playing in the Bronx. The cinematic arc of the song would stick with her: Simóne, depicted as a trans queer person, is shunned by their father and dies alone of what's assumed to be AIDS. “El Gran Varón” was first banned by some radio stations but became an international hit anyway. Many call it one of the most well-known Latin songs of all time. Its songwriter explains that it was inspired by a rumor about a real-life friend. Only years later did he realize his lyrics contained an eerie prophecy. You can subscribe to La Brega here.

En 1989, Gabby Rivera tenía 7 o 8 años cuando Willie Colón lanzó "El gran varón". Recuerda a su padre poniendo el tema mientras ella estaba sentada en su minivan blanca en el Bronx. El argumento casi cinematográfico de la canción se quedaría con ella: Simón, es representada como una persona cuir (queer) que se viste como mujer, que recibe el rechazo de su padre, Don Andrés, y muere en soledad de una enfermedad que se asume que es el SIDA. Inicialmente, "El gran varón" fue prohibida por algunas estaciones de radio, pero a pesar de esto, se convirtió en un éxito; muchos la consideran una de las salsas más conocidas de todos los tiempos. Omar Alfanno explica que la canción fue realmente inspirada por un rumor sobre un amigo de la vida real. Sólo años más tarde se dio cuenta de que sus letras contenían una profecía escalofriante. El estribillo de la canción también incluye un viejo dicho: "Palo que nace doblao', jamás su tronco endereza". En la actualidad, esa frase se escucha como algo anticuado, y de hecho, la canción ha sido rechazada por algunos oyentes LGBTQ+. Aún así, la canción y la historia del personaje conocido como Simón resonaron con Gabby. Ella recuerda consolarse con las letras, y por el tono tan tierno de su padre cuando le explico de qué se trata la canción. Cuando Gabby salió del closet durante su adolescencia, su padre Charlie la aceptó, y ella le atribuye ese hecho a esta canción: “Simón murió en soledad para que yo no tuviera que hacerlo”. Aprende más sobre las voces que aparecen en este episodio: • Omar Alfanno, compositor y músico • Ophelia Pastrana, Youtuber basada en Ciudad de México • José Massó, locutor del programa Con Salsa de WBUR • Lee el ensayo de Gabby Rivera sobre lo que "El gran varón" significa para ella Nuestra versión de "El gran varón" es de la artista Ana Macho (disponible en april).

Gabby Rivera was 7 or 8 years old when Willie Colón released “El Gran Varón” in 1989. She remembers her father playing it while she sat in the backseat of their white minivan in the Bronx. The cinematic arc of the song would stick with her: the lyrics describe how a character referred to as Simón, depicted as a queer person who appears dressed as a woman, is shunned by their father, Don Andres, and dies alone of a disease assumed to be AIDS. “El Gran Varón” was initially banned by some radio stations but became a hit anyway — it's considered by many to be one of the most well-known salsas of all time. Songwriter Omar Alfanno explains that the song was actually inspired by a rumor about a real-life friend. Only years later did he realize that his lyrics contained an eerie prophecy. The song's chorus also includes an old saying: “Palo que nace doblao', jamás su tronco endereza” / “Nature cannot be corrected, a tree that grows up crooked cannot ever be straightened.” Today, that phrasing is heard as outdated and even hateful — and indeed, the song has been rejected by some LGBTQ+ listeners. Still, the song resonated with Gabby — she remembers taking solace in the lyrics and in her father's tender explanation of their meaning. When Gabby came out as a teenager, her father Charlie embraced her, and she credits that song: “Simón died alone so I didn't have to.” Learn more about the voices in this episode: • Omar Alfanno, songwriter and musician • Ophelia Pastrana, Youtuber based in Mexico City • José Massó, host of WBUR's Con Salsa • Read Gabby Rivera's essay about what “El Gran Varón” means to her Our cover of “El Gran Varón” is by the artist Ana Macho (out this April).

Deze maand op het boekenplankje Colson Whitehead - Harlem Shuffle  "Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked..." To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time. Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed, save his cousin, and grab his share of the big score, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs? Harlem Shuffle's ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It's a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. Vind het boek hier in de webshop.

Episode 2 – Diversity and representation in fiction In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, we—Bethany and Mariëlle—explain why a conversation about diversity and representation in fiction is necessary.  We also talk about:  the fact some characters are overrepresented while others are severely underrepresented in fiction positive, and less positive, examples from our childhood and adult reading  Mariëlle's #ownvoices project My Voice, My Story some of the reasons our literary canon is the way it is, even though things are slowly changing how representing diverse characters is not just about quantity, it's also about the quality of those representations Some quotes from this week's episode: “It's about being able to recognize yourself in the people around you, whether you meet them on the page, on the screen, in the park.”   “Are there no books that made you open your mind to something or turned your whole world upside down? Stories that made you feel understood, that made you feel less alone, that helped you keep going when you didn't know how to?”   “Not seeing something can create a void, but if we do see something and that something is a negative or highly stereotypical, then there we have another problem.”   Here are the (re)sources we mentioned on the show: Brené Brown interviews Gabby Rivera: https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-gabby-rivera-on-superheroes-storytelling-and-joy-as-resistance The “Are you a princess of Wakanda?” article: https://www.lovewhatmatters.com/are-you-a-princess-of-wakanda-her-eyes-grew-so-big-i-crossed-my-arms-over-my-chest-chadwick-boseman-black-panther Mariëlle's My Voice, My Story anthologies: https://mswordsmith.nl/anthologies Ash Roberts's website: https://ashrobertsdragoneer.com and all the places you can purchase Ash's book Royal Dragon: https://books2read.com/royaldragon And you can find this week's bonus material here: https://representationmatters.art/2021/10/07/episode2/ To be the first to know when our next episode drops, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/r3p6g8

Gabby Rivera, award-winning author of Juliet Takes a Breath, and host of the podcast Joy Revolution, joins Josie to talk about the challenges and joys of her solo queer babymaking journey.  Plus, how do cannabis, weight, and stress affect fertility? (Hint: one of these might surprise you.)

And we're back! The girls' third book of Series 5 on LGBTQ+ authors is Gabby Rivera's joyous "Juliet Takes a Breath". While fangirling over, quite possibly the most lovable main character we have ever come across, the girls talk: - First and foremost, how we CANNOT HANDLE how much we love Juliet. Seriously. Why is she fictional? We need to hang out with her IMMEDIATELY - Juliet's journey after she comes out, and how her foundation of love with her family makes it even more affecting - How Juliet's tendency to get overwhelmed, freak out, but then do the thing anyway makes her our actual hero, move over Beyoncé - How through doing that, Juliet identifies and creates her own relationship with feminism - Speaking of feminism, Juliet (and hence the girls) talk about where white lady feminism falls short - Not to mention all of the super-gross parts of ourselves and our behaviour we came across in that discussion - Plus our further fangirling over Titi Wepa and cousin Ava, Kira The Hot Librarian ™, and a lot of oversharing on how Juliet's Mam, as an imperfect, loving mother, makes us cry like bitches Oh, you want to hear about the tangents? Well... - Chloe goes in unnecessary depth into the BangBangCon experience and the gif-only conversation she and Clee had during it - Clee can't speak spanish (we disagree) and Chloe can't say many of the words for "vagina" (we heartily disagree) - Though we should use this opportunity to say this week's episode has some stronger language than usual, listener discretion is advised - Oh and speaking of listener discretion... - We found out during recording that our very own Katie Murphy has guest written some sexy fanfic with LC's baby sister @btsfantasty on Instagram. She is not happy that we know about it, but that is part of the fun All that and muchos fangirling over how much we seriously want to be best mates with Juliet despite her fictional status, on this episode of Chick Lit 4 Life! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lc-lewis/message

Fear!!! One of the most powerful emotions we can experience and so often it holds us back from achieving success. This is especially true in the world of entrepreneurship.

Motivated by a desire to provide a better lifestyle for her family and wanting her husband home more, Gabby explains how she faced her fears while starting a business from the ground up.

When Gabby Rivera wrote her coming-of-age novel “Juliet Takes a Breath” in 2016, she didn't know that it would get her attention from an unusual place: Marvel Comics. They asked her to write for America Chavez, their first queer Latina superhero. Gabby said yes. But as she was writing for their superhero, she found herself swept up in #comicsgate, an online harassment campaign against the comic book industry’s efforts to include more women, people of color and LGBTQ characters. In this "Portrait Of," Maria sits talked to Gabby about her beginnings as a writer, her difficult experience with #comicsgate and about returning to comic book writing.

Join writer of the America Chavez comics, Gabby Rivera for a conversation on comic books, their potential for storytelling, and their appeal and importance, especially when it comes to young readers and, even more so, marginalized young readers who often don't see themselves as the superhero of stories. Gabby Rivera is the first Latina to write for Marvel Comics, penning the solo series America about America Chavez, a portal-punching queer Latina powerhouse. Rivera is also the author of the critically acclaimed debut novel for young adults Juliet Takes a Breath. Moderator: Breena Nunez is a cartoonist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker: Daily Shouts and The Nib, as well as anthologies like Tales From La Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology, Drawing Power (Eisner Nominated), and Be Gay, Do Comics!

In this SUPERSIZED episode Kendra and Amanda talk to queer actor Mandahla Rose about the book Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera. In this amazing young adult novel, nineteen-year-old Juliet Palante writes a you-changed-my-life letter to her favorite feminist author and is granted a summer internship at the author's home in Portland, OR. Leaving her loving Puerto Rican family in the Bronx is difficult, but Juliet also welcomes the chance to enter a new environment: her mother has been communicating with her through closed doors ever since Juliet told her that she is a lesbian and has a girlfriend. In Portland, Juliet discovers a new world—gay, artsy, "crunchy," hippie types who welcome her with open arms and offer her marijuana. She falls in love, her heroes fall, her family supports her, and her friends save her. Juliet also discovers women of color writing science fiction, hot library paraprofessionals, and her own self-esteem. At the end of the summer, Juliet reflects, "I'm a messy, over-emotional, book nerd, weirdo, chubby brown human and I needed to learn how to love myself, even the shameful bits." Listen as the group chats about queer representation, how topical this book is with current events, and their answers to the question, "would you rather live 10 lifetimes and live to 100 years old in each one, or live one lifetime and live to be 1000 years old?"

With Marvel's "America Chavez," Gabby Rivera wrote a new kind of superhero -- one who can punch portals into other dimensions while also embracing her gentle, goofy, soft side. In a funny, personal talk, Rivera shares how her own childhood as a queer Puerto Rican in the Bronx informed this new narrative -- and shows images from the comic book that reveal what happens when a superhero embraces her humanity. As she says: "That myth of having to go it alone and be tough is not serving us." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
