I met Charlotte in 2020, while I was doing outreach work in Flushing for Red Canary Song. We weren't able to communicate much, due to language barriers, but our smiles were warm and met with a deep empathy. The first day she joined RCS for a meeting, we held hands and passed our stories through an interpreter. Over hot pot, we cried... we've both known and helped so many workers in our communities. We've also watched helplessly as so many grew sick, died, overdosed, died due to this capitalistic, police surveillance state.
Charlotte has accrued a massive debt while helping others--please assist in our GoFundMe HERE. All donations go directly to paying off a debt that is tearing down her health and capacity to continue work.

It's a week of podcasts popping off!
I spend some time speaking to Ozzy Llinas Goodman from one of my favorite podcasts, Gender Reveal. We talk about Queer Parenting, kink (what is it anyways?), sex work, Fly in Power, documentary making, and the work of Red Canary Song... LISTEN HERE I was honored to participate on this podcast, which is a new favorite listening series. I learned so much from scholar, Prof. Katie Gentile and hosts Ally Merchant & Romy Reading. And wow, their editing team make me sound so concise...
We talk about community care, Red Canary Song, Mercy Mistress, Fetus Fetish and Reproductive Rights, and much more. Other stellar episodes include conversations with Ken Corbett, psychoanalyst and author, and Maggie Nelson; Dr. Jules Gill-Peterson, author and distinguished professor of transgender history and history of sexuality, and Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou, esteemed psychoanalyst and author; internationally renowned choreographer, Bill T. Jones, and esteemed psychoanalyst, Professor of English and Latino and Caribbean Studies, and Dean of Humanities at Rutgers University, Dr. Michelle Stephens...and so many more that I'm making my way through on my long drives to and from NYC. Listening & learning... |
