Nonprofits often tell their supporters and community how important their involvement can be. But it's an entirely different thing to create environments and events that make supporters feel their impact — like their time, money, and efforts really matter.Jonathan Meagher-Zayas has been in the nonprofit and fundraising space for over ten years, and he's seen a recurring theme within many nonprofits he's worked with: “A lot of times we just want resources. We want support. We want more amplified engagement. But what are we doing so people actually feel like they're a part of something bigger? How do we create these meaningful experiences where people feel like they're a part of something bigger?”Creating spaces where people feel empowered and know that their input is making a difference is essential for taking engagement to the next level. Audience engagement shouldn't just be a set of data points. It should be a real, meaningful relationship with the people in your community.Bio:Jonathan is a Queer Latinx millennial nonprofit management strategist dedicated to advancing equity, building capacity, motivating new impact leaders, and getting stuff done. A fundraiser for over ten years, he has helped local organizations raise over $9 million through major gifts, corporate relations, special events, foundation and government grants, and annual giving initiatives. Jonathan has extensive experience managing leadership development programs and advancing diversity, inclusion, and equity initiatives. He also has experience with community engagement and communications by managing and enhancing social media, digital communications, newsletters, public relations, and marketing campaigns for various nonprofit organizations.Guest links:Jonathan's LinkedIn profileJonathan's Awesome Nonprofit SolutionsAdditional links:Julia Campbell's podcastNonprofit Marketing GuidePlaylist:Physical by Dua LipaMoscow Mule by Bad BunnyTelephone by Lady Gaga (feat.

We're channeling our inner Minnie Ripperton as we take a walk down memory lane in Alejandro Varela's debut novel, The Town of Babylon. We talk to him about centering his story around Andrés, a Queer Latinx college professor who returns home to care for his sick father in the small suburban town of Babylon. On the heels of dealing with his husband's infidelity, he attends his 20-year class reunion, where he reunites with his high school sweetheart Jeremy and reckons with his past.
Ep 46 La Profesora talks with newly-minted Dr. Roberto Orozco (felicidades on your dissertation defense!) about the connection between Jotería Studies and Chicana Feminism. Early Chicana Feminists crafted a theory that disrupted heteronormativity and uplifted race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, a foundational element that is not always addressed or honored when drawing from Chicana Feminism. Therefore, Jotería Studies and Chicana Feminism have been linked since the very beginning. Dr. Orozco shares insights on working alongside muxerista activists at UNLV and the Las Vegas area, and the importance of tracing the geneology of the theories we use. Dr. David Martinez, a member of our Academic Hype Team, uplifts the efforts of Dra. Abigail Tarango. *************************** Sidenotes: The Association For Jotería Arts, Activism And Scholarship https://ajaas-blog.tumblr.com/ The 2014 Jotería Dossier.

Then, a conversation with Andrew Grant Houston, aka Ace, candidate for mayor of Seattle. Like many millennials, Ace moved to a city for work a few years ago -- he quickly got engaged in housing activism, an issue near and dear to his heart as an architect.

We are in our final week of honoring Queer LatinX culture and history and it seems fitting to go out with the infamous Walter Mercado. The icon was an astrologer and T.V. spiritual advisor who held daily shows to over 120 million viewers at the height of his career. His charisma and charm captivated his followers while his androgynous identity baffled his critics. In a culture overrun with Catholicism and gender roles, Walter Mercado became a beacon of hope for many LatinX viewers who were also gender non-conforming. His defiance of the norms broke the barrier of sexuality and even at age 87 he couldn’t suppress a grin when folks questioned whether he still held onto his V-card. So let us dive into the mystical world that is Walter Mercado or - Walter of the Miracles. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourqueerstory/message

This week we sit down with activist and artist, Marcus Sanchez. We chat about his work with the Austin, TX KIND Clinic, Queer Latinx art, and stigma in the LGBTQ Community among other things.
This week on Bag Ladies we’re processing a few racist attacks first an 8 year old boy was almost lynched by a group of teens in New Hampshire and a student was dragged from his seat to make him stand for the pledge of allegiance. Finally this dumb ass Bodega start-up has attempted to attack ACTUAL BODEGAS and we all said hell nah basically. For baggage we’re talking about the trials & tribulations of ONLINE DATING. We’re putting in our bag two books! Juliet takes a breath by Queer Latinx writer Gabby Rivera and Sister Citizen by Melissa Harris Perry.

Today Melody and Raechel reflect on the tragedy in Orlando when 49 queer, mostly Latinx, lives were lost and 53 more injured. In the discussion they talk about the problems with the media representation of the event, specifically the erasure of Latinx identity, the inaccurate representation of motive, the perpetuation of Islamophobia, and blatantly ignoring our racist, homophobic country's complicity in this. In addition, we discuss a bit about the history of the Queer Liberation movement, specifically as it relates to gay bars, and what it means to live alongside grief as queer people. Plus, check-ins and our RWLs of the week.
