This week our guest is Pat Downes, a lighting technician in the entertainment industry. Backbeat Conversations also supports Black Lives Matter and is celebrating pride month and remembering the black people who fought/fight for LGBTQ+ rights. I will once again be linking MLK Jr and Marsha P. Johnson. Also, we are putting out bonus episodes where we talk to black people about their experiences and the injustices they face. So if you are reading this, look for those.
