Episode Description:

We are thrilled to welcome a remarkable guest, Julissa Contreras, a talented content creator, podcaster and playwright hailing from the Bronx. Julissa has taken the theater world by storm with her off-Broadway debut production, "Vamonos," and she joins us to share her inspiring journey.

Julissa, as an Afro-Latina Dominicana, has a unique perspective on the theatrical landscape. We delve deep into the inequalities that persist within the American theater community. Julissa passionately discusses the stark lack of content and opportunities for minorities in the theater world, which has led to a discouraging cycle of disinterest and insufficient support from the minority community itself. Her insights shine a light on the need for greater inclusivity and representation on and off stage.

Julissa also takes us on an incredible journey of self-discovery as she recounts her transformative trip to Ghana. This voyage allowed her to reconnect with her African roots and explore the intersections of her identity as an Afro-Latina Dominicana. Her experiences in Ghana and the profound impact they had on her perspective on life are nothing short of captivating.

Join us for an episode filled with powerful words that matter as we explore the depths of theater inequalities and the beautiful journey of self-discovery through the eyes and experiences of Julissa Contreras. It's a conversation that highlights the importance of diverse voices in the world of theater and the broader quest for inclusivity in all aspects of life.

Special Guest: Devon Chisholm

Website/Information:

Episode Description:

In this heartfelt and enlightening episode of Just Words Nobody Cares, we are joined by a remarkable guest, Devon Chisholm. A seasoned firefighter with a passion for service and an unwavering commitment to his community, Devon opens up about a pivotal moment in his life - the decision to come out and introduce his soon to be husband to his fellow firefighters at his wedding.

Devon shares his candid thoughts on why he grappled with this decision, delving into the complex emotions he faced while navigating his identity in a profession that values camaraderie and teamwork above all else but is heavily dominated by “traditional” societal norms. He discusses his initial fears of being defined solely by his sexual preference, rather than by his dedication and on-the-field performance.

As we listen to Devon's narrative, we're taken on a journey through his path of self-discovery. From his formative years, where he first decided to pursue firefighting, to the challenges he encountered as a probie (rookie fire fighter) and proving his mettle in a traditionally white “straight male-dominated field.

With a compelling mix of anecdotes and insights, Devon recounts the highs and lows of his professional development. He unveils the moments of doubt that tested his resolve, and the triumphant experiences that reaffirmed his purpose. Through it all, we gain a deep understanding of how embracing his identity strengthened his resolve and elevated his contributions as a firefighter.

Join us as we delve into Devon's powerful story - a story of courage, authenticity, and unwavering determination. As we hear about his wedding day, a pivotal moment where he chose to stand proudly in his truth, we're reminded that sometimes the most profound acts of bravery occur not amidst the flames, but within the depths of our own hearts.

We recorded this episode in late June during “Pride Month” a day before Devon was taking his Lieutenants exam! Let’s celebrate Devon Chisholm's remarkable journey on and off the work force and explore the profound importance of authenticity in the face of adversity.
