Show Notes

On this week's episode of Town Hall: A Black Queer Podcast, Miss Peppermint and Guest Host, Producer Cory Nixon, explore what it means to be "Alternatively Black". We first hear from Cleopatra TataBele (@afrobrujx), an alt black femme punk in NYC, who leads Black and Indigenous two-spirit education programs. Cleopatra shares her experience finding community in the NYC punk scene and what it was like leaving Christianity and finding love in polyamory. Next, self-proclaimed Nerd, Jason (@_gaignun_), discusses his experience in the online gaming community and how it led him to love in Australia. S'aint Panic (@saintpanicworld), a multi-hyphenate creative working in NYC nightlife, talks about the power of connecting with others and curating the right energy in clubs. And towards the end of the episode, M. Lamar (@lamar_m_lamar), an artist who created the term “negro-gothic”, speaks about the beauty and power he has found in the gothic aesthetic and the healing power of music.
