Sluts, Sinners and Saints

Trigger warning: Murder, rape, abuse.

What happened to Gabby Petitio was tragic, heart breaking and infuriating. We can only imagine how much fear and panic she must have felt, with no one around to rescue her and bring her back to her loved ones, safe at home. We know that thoughts and prayers will never be enough to heal the hearts of her family.

The way social media stepped up in sucha profound way to find her, was amazing. But as women of color, I'm sure many of us asked ourselves, "OIf that were me, would there be national outrage? Woudl the entire country rally together to find me, or my remains, and bring me home to my loved ones?"

This episode covers the glaring disparities between the disappearance of a white woman versus the tens of thousands of missing and murdered women of color, and how the energy behind finding them and seeking justice for them, just isn't the same.

Content warning: Sexual abuse, rape, abortion.

CONTENT WARNING: Racism, abuse, slavery, rape.

In this episode we talk about the failure of the film, "Pray Away", to include any BIPOC experiences of the ex-Gay movement as well as the harm conversion therapy has caused BIPOC LGBTQIA people. We also do in depth on the harmful effects of continuous BIPOC exclusion in so many spaces where we have regular interactions and experiences.

Though our content is centered around and prioritizes uplifting the voices, highlighting the issues, holding space and validating the lived experiences of exvangelical BIPOC women and femmes, all are welcome to consume our content. We hope people from all walks of life will find themselves in our shared experiences.

We process, in depth, our first experience with attending a white, queer led, exvangelical event. We are hoping that by sharing our insights and perspectives on this topic, as BIPOC women, that this will spark a larger discussion and be the catalyst for change within this movement.

Please keep in mind we are DESCRIBING our experiences, not bashing the event or the organizers of it. We hope that you will join our Pateron community and help us to continue to do the work we so desire to do, so we can make the changes so desperately needed in order to hold space and create visibility for the BIPOC LGBTQIA+, exvangelical collective.

Ok.. this is our first attempt at recording, without a dedicated space to do so. Please excuse the background noises and mic noises. As we move forward with creating content we will hone our production skills. We are learning as we go. Thank you for your support in the meantime!

This first episode includes a little about each of us and simply unpacking the title of our podcast, Sluts, Sinners and Saints, and what each word means to us.
