Shary Ave

We have a special guest who is also one half of the music duo Hot Lives, based out of Nashville, Mikala.  We talk about what it was like growing up as a black, queer woman in Tennessee and the ways in which its okay to not fit in any of the boxes that people can place us in.  The song that we share with you at the beginning is called Living Things from the self-titled album Hot Lives. Can be found on Spotify and apple music and other streaming platforms.  Instagram.com/realhotlives 

In this episode..our guest Mye (she/her) hard L for lesbian is our guest. She talks about growing up in LA as a black femme and what a queer afterlife might look like.

we did it first Gen Z..Jk.. My parents would say otherwise but in this episode we welcome my new friend Mel aka Melmur to Shary Ave. Mel, by far, shared with me the most photos and was really open to sharing the uncomfortable photos as well. The times where she tried to fit in for a short period. Shary Ave is the place to bring it all. Check out our youtube page Shary Ave and IG page shary.ave to see her photos and video from this interview.  You can also check out a documentary she and my friend Britt made called Genderations on vimeo "Small House Media" https://vimeo.com/156063498.  Genderations is a short documentary created by Britt McClintock and Melissa Murray. It is a series of conversations and interviews centered around the positive and negative effects of gender socialization, the exploration of gender as a social construct, and the importance of widening a rigid gender binary. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
