The Rainbow Remix

JD and Denise welcome Scott Galvin the director of Safe Schools Florida, an initiative that started years ago to help teachers and students  in the South Florida school system learn and grow with GSA's and talks about LGBTQ issues but after COVID and the the governor's latest anti-gay campaign, Scott and the company had to pivot and adjust, becoming more digital and now appealing to a more global audience. On top of all that Scott is also a councilman in North Miami- what a busy guy! To watch this chat on our YouTube Channel, click this link.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, so JD and Denise welcome Daniel Watt, whose documentary film "Everybody Dance" is free this month on Amazon Prime. It focuses on an all inclusive dance school with some amazing kids living with neurodiversity's whose journey to the year end recital is documented along with all they've learned through dance and a very special teacher. As Dan explains what the experience meant to him, how the idea came about and what HE himself learned, he also shares his own journey from small time dance student to NY, LA and his career at Columbia Pics as well as working with Simon Cowell.  To watch this conversation on our YouTube Channel, click this link. 

Denise and JD have a discussion with Nic Austin, our queer cinephile about the 2024 Awards season, from The Emmys to The Golden Globes to the SAG Awards- trends, fashion, topics, queerness, and of course, Nic's Oscar predictions and why.

Denise and JD welcome Suzi Fox, owner of The Rainbow Stores dot com, where your Pride is your decision. Clothing, flags, trinkets and more are so perfectly loud or so perfectly subtle, depending on your personal mood, choice and identity. We talked about the reason behind those decisions, we talked about the state of world right now, what's happening to our community and what we can do to support one another. Suzi also tells us how cutting costs, keeping shipping prices low and the quality high is a big part of their business plan. To watch the chat on our YouTube Channel, click this link. 

Denise and JD welcome out comedian Amy Tee from the New England area, who's honest self reflection in this chat is nothing short of inspiring.
