It's entitled Strange Fruit: Musings on Politics, Pop Culture and Black Gay Life (after the Billie Holiday song) and features as its hosts two of my fave people in my other hometown in Dr. Kaila A Story and Jaison Gardner. And yes, in the interest of journalistic integrity 'Nephew' Jaison refers to me as Auntie Monica..
But back to the post.
The first episode is entitled, "Does Your Mama Know?" and looks at the coming out process for LGBT people of color. They started a roundtable discussion with young people who have come out to their families, talked to some mamas about their reactions to their children coming out, then had a conversation with Lisa C. Moore, editor of Does Your Mama Know?: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Coming Out Stories.
You can keep up with what's happening on Strange Fruit via Facebook and Twitter, and the show's hosts enthusiastically welcome your feedback. They post a new podcast episode each Saturday; so stay tuned.
I know I definitely plan on doing so, and congratulations Dr. K and 'Nephew'. May your show be a major success.
