Description
Have you ever wondered what a borderless world could look like? Well, we were able to imagine that world in this week's episode thanks to our guest of the week!
In this week's interview, Nance talks about their experience being a first-generation Ugandan/Liberian, trans/non-binary American immigrant living in the USA.
We talked about their work as an artist, where to get their book (The Letter Formally Known as Q Voices from Minnesota's Queer Immigrant Community), and the challenges of being first gen, black, queer, and trans in today's world.
I love that Nance reminded us of the importance of community, of finding our people, our home (away from home), and how belonging is in fact possible.
Enjoy this journey
