Sasha Alexander

Sasha Alexander from Black Trans Media

We’re tremendously excited about tonight’s show which marks the beginning of what we hope to be an enduring collaboration with Black Trans Media. In January we brought you an interview with Sasha Alexander, one of the co-founders and directors of Black Trans Media, a group that centers Black Trans people for the purposes of documenting their history and current situation here in New York and elsewhere.

Takoda Patterson

Takoda Patterson, Author & Podcaster

Sasha interviews writer and podcaster Takoda Patterson in a wide-ranging conversation on how Takoda was inspired by the Russell Simmons spoken word TV series, Def Poetry Jam. They discuss what it is to be Black and Trans in the US today as anti-Trans legislation is being proposed in state after state. They also explore Takoda’s new essay on the topic published at aninjusticemag.com titled, “It’s Not a Ban, It’s a Genocide”

We’ll end the show with a excerpt from a 1995 speech given by the late author and radical activist Leslie Feinberg. In it Feinberg called for unity in struggle across apparent divides of sex, class, race, and gender expression.
