Welcome to "Town Hall: A Black Queer Podcast", where we explore themes through storytelling, music, poetry, and art, navigating deep emotions and humor. In this episode, Peppermint and Bob the Drag Queen tackle the power and complexities of The Black Vote. Our first guest, Shaman (@shamantherebel), is a musician and tattoo artist based in Los Angeles who identifies as a free-thinker. Shaman shares his disillusionment with the Democratic Party and explains why he's choosing to vote for Trump. Next, we’re joined by Cameron, a student pursuing her BA in American Studies with a minor in Race and Ethnicity. This past summer, she worked as an Elections Fellow, helping educate her university on voting and civic engagement. Cameron emphasizes the importance of community building and collective action as the election nears. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on differing political perspectives within the Black community and the power of the vote.
