We Can Do Hard Things

160. Fortune Feimster: A Queer Debutante Walks Into a Hooters . . .

Listen Later

1. Fortune’s life as a debutante without a couch and her first coming out party. 

2. Fortune’s 21st birthday, and her family’s complicated relationship with Hooters. 

3. The joys and perils of growing up as an 80s kid, and the shock of moving to LA from a small Southern town. 

4. What Fortune was watching when she finally realized she was queer, and how she built community when she realized she was the only gay person she knew. 

5. How she learned to let go of being someone she’s not – and starting living to please herself.
