Guests: Qween Amor - Activist, Performance Artist, Nurse Omega Chuckii - Training and Outreach Manager, Oakland LGBT Center Ebony Harper - Advocate, Philanthropy Consultant, Activist It is so important to use this platform to center voices and perspectives that don't get nearly the focus and visibility they deserve especially those who represent communities under attack. Fewer communities are more threatened or marginalized than the Transgender community. Despite huge strides in cultural visibility via shows like POSE and prominent trans activists entertainers and even politicians in recent years, Trans people are still the most likely group to encounter violence and the least likely to receive justice. When you talk about Trans people of color at the intersection of a racist and transphobic society, it is even grimmer. Despite judicial victories at the Supreme Court and recent legislation in California, the Trump administration's assault on Trans people and the newly minted conservative majority on the Supreme Court make clear many of these gains are fragile and in peril. But that is not the whole story. Trans people are some of the strongest, most generous, most hilarious and aware people there are, and I think it is a fitting time to give them the floor to explain how they are interpreting the world right now. Qween Amor, Omega Chuckii, and Ebony Harper represent the best of activism, indomitability, humor and the knowledge of real shit that allows people to take care of themselves and others. This is the best episode we have produced, and I encourage you to listen to the ENTIRE EPISODE and get your life.

This week we are focusing on performance artists who are building platforms and using them to advocate for equity and change. Last up is trans performance artist, twerk master and activist Qween Amor and she is coming with the HEAT! Qween is a fearless warrior against ignorance, racism, white supremacy and hypocrisy in all of its many forms. Her performances critique capitalism, complacency and hope to inspire people to be the fullest and most engaged version of themselves. She talks with us about what it's like to see her perform, how it feels to take up space even in the face of extreme adversity and violence, and what she hopes for the future in a world in chaos and turmoil.
