#6 - Vocal about being a queer woman of color
In this episode, we welcome our very first guest, queer activist Seden Anlar, and talk about what it’s like to deal with racism and homophobia at the same time. We touch on the notion of how some people like to get a little taste of our everyday's reality, just to go back to the perceived "normal" afterwards. We discuss what it means when living contrary to multiple social norms and how freeing a coming out can be.
The women of color we celebrate in this episode:
Dee Rees, director of the breathtaking movie Pariah. This partly autobiographical movie is a piece about a queer black teenager and her difficult coming out in a very conservative surrounding, how much is at stake when coming out can have and how freeing it can be to choose a different life.
Janelle Monae, American soul and funk singer who had her glorious coming out in the Rolling Stone last year
“Being a queer black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…erself-629204/
