Transcripts BONUS: LaSaia Wade and Diamond Stylz with Andrea Jenkins and Myrl Beam at the MIA

Transcripts

We're dropping a bonus track today because we think you need to hear this conversation RIGHT NOW. This is the recording from our show launch event at the Minnesota Institute of Art in Minneapolis. Hear our hosts Myrl Beam and Andrea Jenkins in dialogue with LaSaia Wade (Brave Space Alliance) and Diamond Stylz (Black Transwomen Inc). They discuss the uprisings against white supremacy and police brutality, the relationship between anti-Black racism and COVID-19, and how YOU can help them in their work.

The audio is a little wonky because it's a Zoom call. Transcription will be up on our website soon. Special thanks to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Third Thursday Event Host Ameriprise, to the Mark and Mary Goff Fiterman Lecture Fund, and especially to Anniessa Antar.
