Podcasts about prancing elites

Happy Pride Month, Fruitcakes! This week we speak with mixed media artists Rahel and SCZ, who are part of a collective called Mother Tongue Techniques. Their group is in San Francisco this weekend presenting "Y’all Come Back: Stories of Queer Southern Migration." They talk about their work, and why it's important to lift up the stories of queer folks and people of color in the south. The actions of (former) Officer Eric Casebolt at a pool party in McKinney, Texas have raised conversations all over the country about who is presumed to be a criminal. Casebolt has since resigned, but questions remain about why the police were called in the first place, why he reacted the way he did to teenagers who weren't resisting, and the long legacy of segregation in swimming pools. Also this week, we talk about a new show Jaison loves called The Prancing Elites. The Oxygen Network's docu-series follows an African-American, gay and non-gender conforming dance team. They perform within the tradition of J-Setting - a style that originated at southern HBCUs in the 1970s. Oxygen's website says the Elites are "challenging societal norms while overcoming several obstacles with passion and humor on their journey to be their authentic selves." We also talk a bit about the troubled relationship of WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson. Griner announced she would file to annul their marriage just a day after Johnson announced they were expecting a baby. Their arrest for domestic violence shortly before their wedding raised questions about how violence is viewed within queer relationships. You count on Strange Fruit to bring you musings on politics, pop culture and black gay life. Every week we do our best to make you laugh, and make you think.

BHL: Conversations -- In this episode Black Hollywood Live host Jesse Janedy interviews The Prancing Elites! About The Prancing Elites Project: Set in the Southern town of Mobile, Alabama, five gay best friends will make sure they earn their place in the dance world by twerking their way to the top of the competition. So what if they are all black and gay, they believe they are just as good as the all-girl groups, and they mean to show everyone they deserve to be ‘reck-a-nized.’ The dance moves are all very intricate, complicated moves that only that talented and the fierce should attempt. Viewers will get to see the Prancing Elites of Mobile shake their butts in dance competitions, parades and football games in the Deep South. Viewers will also see heart wrenching scenes where the dancers are faced with rude comments and are often turned away from various events. In the first episode entitled ‘We Came To Dance,’ the ‘Prancing Elites’ get a visit from Re
