Black queer women are leading the way in 2023 by both releasing new and compelling music and visuals, and also being part of the pop culture conversation. From Janelle Monae’s “Lipstick Lover” to Da Brat’s pregnancy, we’ve been inspired watching the moves these ladies are making. Join us as we discuss some history of Black queer women in music and the foundation they laid for today’s artists.

Ambie Award-winning podcast producer and host Anna DeShawn will be joining us to discuss her work, the app she co-founded, The Qube, and her podcast Queer News.
