Drag From The Left - Season 2: Episode 6

Hey there saints and sinners. This week, Avery and Juanita tackle RuPaul’s incessant desire to depoliticize the contestants - primarily to Black and other contestants of color. Is he trying to keep the show “family-friendly” or is he trying to appease the majority white fandom? Our hosts discuss this week.

Drag From The Left - Season 2: Episode 5

Drag From The Left - Season 2: Episode 5

Hey there heathens and holy rollers, this week Avery and Juanita begin to discuss what their “Show Up Queen” verse would have centered. The conversation quickly veers into how unhelpful neoliberalism and performative politics are largely unhelpful in any political or liberation movement. They make an example out of DaBaby’s recent homophobic and HIV/AIDS-ignorant antics and conclude by drawing the parallels of the multiple ways white supremacist violence is enacted by people of all kinds of identities.  Later in the episode, Avery gets personal about his ongoing relationship with desirability, protection, anger, violence, and how that all fits into his abolitionist politics. Accountability is central to this week’s episode. #AllStars6 #DragRace #DragFTL Drag from the LEFT is recorded live every Sunday at 6PM EST with your hosts @AveryWare and @JuanitaBindem on Stereo App: https://stereo.com/averyware https://stereo.com/juanitabindem Drag From the LEFT is available everywhere podcasts are streamed:  https://anchor.fm/drag-from-the-left Follow us on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DragFTL/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/DragFTLInstagram: https://instagram.com/dragftl?igshid=...  Bibliography: Stigmatizing Language Prevents People From Accessing HIV Care by  Juan Michael Porter II (The Body) (@juanmichaelii) @TheBodyDotCom  https://www.thebody.com/article/stigmatizing-language-prevents-hiv-care-access The History of Minstrel Shows and Jim Crow by Dr. Jonathan Holloway (Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition of @Yale)  https://glc.yale.edu/outreach/teaching-resources/teacher-professional-development-programs/past-teacher-development-15 How To Give A Genuine Apology Part 2: The Apology – The What and The How by Mia Mingus (Leaving Evidence) @miamingus

Drag From The Left - Season 2: Episode 4

Hey there heathens and holy rollers, inspired by the budding love affiars between Eureka O’Hara and Trinity K. Bonet, this week Juanita and Avery attempt to speak truth to the nuances and complexities of interracial dating in Queer communities. More specifically, they speak on Black folks that exclusively seek out white partners for sexual and romantic connections. They later transition to commentary on the demonization of African spiritual practices, its connection to colonization, and the many similarities some African spiritual practices have with Christain narratives. They wrap up with a conversation on the brilliance of Lil Nas X and his most recent song and video, Industry Baby. #RPDR #AllStars6

Drag From The Left - Season 2: Episode 3

Hey there heathens and holy rollers, Juanita and Avery get personal this week and show you their hearts. Inspired by the Pink Table Talk challenge and Ra’Jah O’Hara’s heartfelt and honest candor about the relationship with her mother, Juanita and Avery discuss their experience growing up Black and Queer and how living at that intersection affected their familial relationships.  Later in the episode, Juanita and Avery discuss the precarity of “coming out” and its socio-political implications. They discuss their differing orientation to pronouns and how white surpermacist culture informs those relationships.   Plugin those headphones and listen as they discuss family, Internations Non-binary Awareness Week and #RPDR #AllStars6 Drag from the LEFT and Call’n/Call Out are recorded live every Sunday at 6PM EST with your hosts @AveryWare and @JuanitaBindem on Stereo App: https://stereo.com/averyware https://stereo.com/juanitabindem Drag From the LEFT is available everywhere podcasts are streamed:  https://anchor.fm/drag-from-the-left Follow us on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DragFTL/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/DragFTLInstagram: https://instagram.com/dragftl?igshid=...  TW/CW: Homophobia, transphobia, Gender-based family trauma
