We have to say, it was harder than usual coming up with a title for this episode. Ivy Le is more than a comic and more than a podcaster. She started as a writer but we don't mean like that. She's brilliant and she's a fighter and she's really, really trying to change the way things are done in this world. She reminded us that we're lucky to have showcased the amazing guests that we've already had on the pod and she reminded us that artists are humans that create thought-provoking work to drive radical change in this world. 

In her own words, she's a Vietnamese-American comedian, actress, and writer based in Austin, Texas. She is the creator of the critically-acclaimed Spotify Studios podcast FOGO: Fear of Going Outside, a nature show by the most reluctant host ever. Ivy was selected to be one of the 10 out of 18,000 applicants to go through Spotify’s first SoundUp podcast accelerator for women of color. She’s a bisexual mom of two kids, and is on a mission to queer comedy and decolonize everything.

Ivy was the perfect guest to close out our Pride Series because she's the type of unusual creature that has been swimming against the tide in America her whole life. And she doesn't plan on trying to assimilate or create anything that doesn't align to her steadfast values. Never compromise. That's what Ivy has taught us. We're united with Ivy, and we're united with out queer community and this gorgeous community of creatures we've been blessed to coalesce. Happy pride, fam. It begins. In honor of this last episode of Pride, please consider donating and supporting the organizations mentioned on the show, TENT in Texas, The LGBTQ Center of Durham and HRC.
