In light of the murder of George Floyd, amidst nationwide Black Lives Matter protests, and ahead of Father's Day, Veer Queer interviewer Kevin Anderson connects with guests Roderick Coleman, Paul Guillory, George Williams, and Jay Tillman to ask the question: What does it look like to be a Black, same-gender-loving father raising Black children in America right now?
Healing can be a spiritual process—one that looks different for everyone. In this week's episode, Veer Queer interviewer Kevin Anderson sits down with spoken word artists Ebony Rose and Jus Marvin and singer Rechatter Brady to discuss their artistic journeys and how quarantine has (or has not) sparked creativity.
The "new normal" of COVID-19 is hard, y'all. And it's definitely taking a toll on our collective mental health. Veer Queer interviewer Deondre B. Moore sits down with Kevin Anderson, founder and CEO of the T.R.U.T.H. Project—a Houston-based non-profit that educates and mobilizes LGBTQ communities of color through social arts that promote mental, emotional, and sexual health—to discuss coping with quarantine, tele-therapy, finding accessible and safe creative outlets, and more.
Food—it's what brings us together, a way to show our love, and a tie to our cultural roots. In this episode, Veer Queer interviewer Verniss McFarland III sits down with two special culinary guests, Bunny Woods of Honey B's Cuisine and Gianna Navarro of Somos Semillas Vegan Kitchen, to discuss how food builds community and the vital role it plays in the lives of QTPOC folks.
In this episode, Veer Queer interviewer Deondre B. Moore recaps the March 3 political primaries with guest Mike Webb, president of the Houston GLBT Political Caucus. On the presidential front, the Democrats are left with candidates Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden—what does this mean for the QTPOC community? In local Houston races, many gay, white male candidates are losing their races to Black women. What does this say about the needs of progressive and LGBTQ communities at this point in our movement? Plus, updates on COVID-19.
To kick off Women's History Month, Veer Queer interviewer Verniss McFarland III talks with two Houston-based queer trailblazers, Judge Shannon Baldwin, Harris County’s first openly lesbian Black judge, and Fran Watson, Houston Municipal Court Associate Judge, attorney, and LGBTQ activist. These strong women open up about their personal journeys into politics, barriers they faced, and the legacies they wish to leave behind.
February is the season of love—but how does that translate for queer, larger-bodied folks? In this episode, Veer Queer interviewer Kevin Anderson sits down with guests Marnina Miller, Shadawn McCants, and Ian L. Haddock to talk dating, fatphobia, and love.
