Ep 30 - Marsha P. Johnson [with Carrot]

Pay it no mind, Divas!

Recorded as part of LGBT+ History Month, we are thrilled to offer the first of two extra special episodes on icons of activism and queer power, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.

We begin with the gorgeous Marsha, and, here to explore both the light and the dark times of this beautiful soul, is another binary-smashing beauty, an icon of drag and cabaret. It's the one and only, Carrot! (@CarrotDrag)

Join us, as we travel through what we know of Marsha's life. Trigger warning: we do cover some very dark themes, including child sex abuse, transphobia, murder and problematic mental health diagnoses. But, we also talk about the strength, the warmth, and the love that made Marsha such an icon of LBTQ+ History.

You can find a link to Tricia's Wedding here.

But, more importantly, you can donate to Trans Women of Color Collective here.
