Welcome to "Town Hall: A Black Queer Podcast," where storytelling, music, poetry, and art blend to explore profound themes with heart and humor. In this episode, hosts Peppermint and Bob the Drag Queen dive into the complex layers of Misogynoir—the prejudice, aversion, and discrimination specifically faced by Black women.

Our first guest, D’arby Rose (@darbylovesboundaries), a Boundaries Guide dedicated to empowering Black women and femmes in self-advocacy and boundary-setting, shares practical strategies for combating misogynoir and safeguarding personal peace in professional spaces. Then, Peppermint speaks with the trailblazing TS Madison (@tsmadison) —entertainer, LGBTQ+ advocate, and producer—about her experiences navigating misogynoir within the entertainment industry and the unique challenges she faces as a Black trans woman. Join us for an insightful conversation on resilience, empowerment, and reclaiming space in a world that too often seeks to silence Black voices.
