Speech Sounds: Five Sonic Stories

Episode 2: Queer, Gifted and Black


Listen Later

This episode follows the dark, beautiful, incomprehensible spectrum of queerness among Black sound makers. Celebrating Black, queer femmes in particular—our sound, adornment, celebration, and resistance. By unpacking how Black femininity, in particular, has been demonized historically, particularly at the intersection of queerness and spirituality—prayers and meditations will elevate the legacy of the Black queer cosmology. We explore the spectrum of bad bitchery and shy/awkwardness all while celebrating our expansive gifts, talents, and how we use them to celebrate and adorn each other.

Featuring NASRA, Nicole Shawan Junior with special appearances by Yvvana Yeboah Duku, Onyka Gairey, and Dianah Smith
