Podcasts about qwoc

Imani Lewis is quick-witted, insightful, hilarious, authentic and absolutely lovely. We left this interview completely charmed by her charisma, and we think you'll be swept away too.

Money is back this week talking a tea to help calm your nerves, which was much needed after hearing that WNBA star (and lesbian heartthrob) and 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for over 3 weeks. I talk my understandings of what's going on, what scares me about the timing of her detainment, and hopes for her safe return home (timestamp in the description for this discussion). Gloria Anzaldua is QueerWOC of the week this week and her words were a much needed and timely reminder of what we face as QWOC. #FreeBG #FreeBrittney #FreeBrittneyGriner Where to find us: IG & Twitter - @queerwocpod FB - https://www.facebook.com/QueerWOCpod/ Tumblr - www.QueerWOC.com Listen to us on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Castbox, PocketCasts Contribute to QueerWOC via CashApp: $QueerWOCPod Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/queerwocpod Rate, Review, Request, Repost, Retweet, and Reply!

In this podcast, we discuss some of what we have been through as lighter-skinned QWoC and what others like us, and different from us have experienced. We also talk about migration in the US and how more marginalized migrants, such as Black, queer, and trans migrants have been unfairly treated in the US. Her most recent book, The Border of Aids: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance (published by University of Washington Press) tells the story of how disease becomes an opportunity for the nation state or the tells the story of how disease becomes an opportunity for the nation state or US violation of human rights.

Season 2, Episode 2, PART 1: “I'm Bulletproof, and I Don't Give a F_ck": Queer Women of Color Scholar, Dr. Karma Chávez Talks, Mentorship, Tokenism, and Intersectionally Queering Our Workspaces. When I first saw her publication list and the lengths to which she went to tell marginalized people's stories globally, I realized that Dr. Karma Chávez is a force to be reckoned with! I was so pleased when she said YES to The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse. I knew it would be such an important resource for other QWoC and PoC in academia as well as the workplace. With QWoC swagger, Karma spoke the first part of her podcast title “I'm Bulletproof, and I Don't Give a F_ck" when I asked her, "How are you writing about these topics?" Karma is a leading voice and liberatory voice in migration studies focusing many times on the story that hasn't been told of Black migrants, queer migrants, and trans migrants. The podcast will be delivered this month as a PART 1, and a PART 2. Always released 1st and 3rd Friday of each month: PART 1 premieres Friday, November 5, 2021 at 4PM PST and includes the following topics covered: --Tokenism & Adrian Piper's "Cornered" (1988) --QWoC Swagger & Desire of Speech PART 2 premieres Friday November 11, 2021 at 4PM PST and includes the following topics covered: --Alienating Logics–The Border of Aids: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance --QWoC and PoC Mentorship Podcast episode summaries: PART 1: We begin this story from a personal angle to talk about identity and what it was like for both of us to navigate academic and professional work spaces as lighter-skinned queer women of color. We talk about tokenism and the institutions of anti-Black white supremacy, and the particular form of racism we have endured and the ones we have been spared from. We also feature Adrian Piper's art installation "Cornered" (1988) that addresses miscegenation and racism beyond otherness. And brings white viewers into accountability of the possibility of their own Blackness. We end this episode talking about our own desire of speech as bi-racial and mixed-race queer women of color, and discuss QWoC swagger a bit. Part 2: In the second installment of this podcast, Karma and I discuss QWoC and PoC mentorship and her new book just released earlier this year: The Border of Aids: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance. In this podcast, we discuss some of what we have been through as lighter-skinned QWoC and what others like us, and different from us have experienced.

Druck is back! I am ready to collect my Kieutou crumbs and dive into the Insta Group with our new main character, Ismail. We are introduced to two new characters, Sascha and Lou, who look like they'll play an important role in Ismail's storyline. I hope this will also include addressing the bullying history with Ava. The Halloween party delivers more than I could have expected and I just have to thank Sira and Nhungi for looking out for the lesbians.

The Intersection Episode #12–De-Centering Black Queer Self-Censorship with Eboné Bell We invite you to Episode 12 of The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse Podcast, featuring Eboné Bell, editor-in-chief of Tagg Magazine to learn more about Black queer self-censorship Titled: De-Centering Black Queer Self-Censorship in the Face of Public Shaming, Racial Profiling, and Violence with Queer Women of Color Media and Programs Eboné and I curated this episode together after she came to me with the horrible incident of a young Black woman being dragged by her hair down stairs of a LGBTQ establishment, Nellies Sports Bar in Washington DC during PRIDE 2021. Keisha Young was a victim of racial profiling, underwent extreme violence and public humiliation, and we spoke together about how such incidents are some of the culprits of Black queer self-censorship. Eboné brings up multiple points on how to ally and co-conspire with Black queer people to stop incidents like this from occurring but also how to validate Black queer people's and women's experiences, as well as that of QPoC and QWoC. She then discusses her rise to fame with Tagg Magazine, her plans for the future, and what it's like to see representation for Black queer women, QWoC, and trans individuals missing in public culture. And then to become at the forefront of this representation! Not only as editor-in-chief but as a speaker, thought leader, and social leader. Listen to this important conversation that is vital to understand our past of intersectional racism, our present events, and Eboné's plans for the future to continue to uplift QPoC and "everyone under the rainbow." ******* Eboné Bell's offerings can be found on her website, https://www.ebonebell.com Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner's info and Intersection GOFUNDME page: https://linktr.ee/DrWongLerner
