Broadening the Narrative

In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with my friend Sequana Murray, or Bandy as she is known by her stage name. Sequana is a Black woman who is low-income, Queer, and a single mother. We discussed what her experience has been like in the church living at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities. A clip from Bandy's song "Confessions" closes out the conversation. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources. Then, you can share with people who know and love you, and little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative.

This is the very first episode of the Broadening the Narrative podcast, a podcast where I will talk to some of my favorite people who have broadened the narrative for me. In this episode, I share how my journey began in broadening the narrative I had been taught regarding race. From there, the narratives I had been taught concerning gender, politics, sexuality, mental health, and religion were broadened. Numerous people have broadened the narrative for me, and I am asking many of them to come onto the podcast. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources. Then, you can share with people who know and love you, and little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative.
