Ever wondered how a local festival can unite a diverse community under the rainbow flag? This week, we bring a vibrant spotlight to the Fort Bend County Pride Festival with exclusive insights from Honey Phillips, the festival's President, and Nadia Hakeem, Director of Communications. Get ready to hear about the inclusive activities that range from a kid's zone and senior corner to mesmerizing performances by drag queens and an Indian fusion dance. With partnerships with the Texas Renaissance Festival and live animal adoptions, this family-friendly event promises to be a celebration for all ages.
Theater enthusiasts will not want to miss our conversation with Logan Vaden, Artistic Director of the Garden Theatre, about their bold new production of "The Color Purple" at the Match. Discover the dynamic collaboration with the Sankofa Collective and the unique perspectives brought by co-director Alrick Davis. Logan opens up about the challenges and triumphs in bringing this powerful musical to life, highlighting the shared mission to make theatre accessible and reflective of community diversity. Also, we touch on the controversial musical "Assassins" and its timely themes.
Finally, we pay tribute to Josephine Titsworth, a pioneering transgender activist whose work in implementing trans-inclusive policies has left a lasting legacy. Maria Gonzalez joins us to honor Josephine’s impactful advocacy within Texas educational institutions. Additionally, we delve into global LGBTQ+ legal challenges and progress, offering updates from Ghana, Namibia, Germany, and the U.S., while celebrating the spirit of resilience and progress within our community. Tune in for an episode filled with inspiring stories, cultural celebrations, and critical discussions on LGBTQ+ rights.
