Asking the question:

How do we empower each other? 

How do we have more productive conversations about our rights?

Interview number 2 with Soph

"I felt like saying my assigned gender at birth felt really important for me at the time… especially for where I was then. Sitting here now, I don’t want to say that and that felt right in this moment.” -Soph

This episode I have the pleasure of introducing a new member to the team! Soph is a philosopher, a poet, and a beautiful storyteller.

We start the conversation talking about relationship anarchy. We talk about What it means to be “Queer as The Cosmos”. We talk about Soph's relationship to to Mama Mia and how it made her realize their queer identity.

Recently I had a friend ask:

How did you know It was finally time to transition/ come out to your parents?

These questions arise often in queer discourse, so we decided we would make our own episode giving our interpretation of what "transition" means and what I takes to come out!

In this third and final episode, Ross and I talk about what it takes to acknowledge our own sexuality, and our experience with sex ed.

What does it take to love yourself? How do we unconditionally love those around you and how do we unconditionally love our past self?

Trigger Warning! This episode we talk about suicide in this episode so make sure you are loving ur self!

This week ross and I discuss his art, Gandhian non violence, and the first time we saw breasts.

In part one of his interview, Ross Everett (he/him) and I talk about his upbringing in a fundamentalist christian family and being home schooled.  We talk about Ross's journey to accepting his bisexuality even though he doesn't have to.

Ross is incredibly well spoken and is a truly caring loving being.

Stay tuned for episode 2 next week.

My name is Ellie Berry and I am creator and host or Queer in a Red State. I got the opportunity to speak in Laramie, Wyoming at an event centered around telling your story of image and identity. This event was put on by an organization called Tales at The Taphouse during pride month, 2019. 

I talk about the conversations that saved me life and the conversations that make me laugh and about the blossoming relationships with both my father and myself. Most importantly I make the point that queer conversations are ones that matter.

Annika (she/her) grew up in Laramie Wyoming and identifies as bisexual. We discuss how to develop positive self-talk, the stigmas of being bisexual, and how to be emotionally intelligent in a political world.
