About When We See Each Other

From the publisher's feed

When We See Each Other* is a bi-weekly podcast focused on work by Black, queer, trans, non-binary artists/writers from a broad range of genres -- stretching from poetry to indie rock, pop, alternative, noise rock, hip hop, reggae, dance hall, metal, calypso, funk, etc. The show is sort of a mixed bag. There will be artist interviews to discuss artists' process in relation to their craft while facing the struggles of being Black, queer, trans in an industry that doesn't include themselves and their identities. It is an open forum for Black queer, trans, non-binary artists to share and expose their work.
