Learn about why they’re learning to say “no” and what it means with the nuance of being Black, among their other identities, and practices like not working on their birthday. We also discuss the silliness of people and companies requesting Black History Month and Pride Month events not soon enough. Please request them much, much sooner and not during the actual month! Nick talks about what queer leadership means to him and how he doesn’t believe that our way to freedom and liberation is through the disposability of people.️ Connect with Nick to learn more about + support their work:InstagramLinkedInLuvServedDaily Consulting Sources and resources from this episode:Camp Pride | Check out this resource I created for more youth, family, and adult LGBTQ+ camps across the USD'Loco KidCreating The Black Queer Tarot blog post & @BLKQUEERTAROT + @kendrickdaye on InstagramSonya Renee TaylorMia MingusIntersex Justice ProjectFacts about intersex folks | @pinkmantaray’s Instagram postEnd intersex surgery | @briannavieira’s Instagram postWe Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice | Adrienne Maree BrownYou Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience | Book edited by Tarana Burke and Brené Brown(Disclaimer: Gender Sexuality Info, LLC may receive a small commission from you purchasing from these two book links, which helps to provide free educational services like this podcast)Host Charlie Ocean, MSW (they/them), has a background in LGBTQ+ training, community organizing, and technology.
