THE PROUDCAST
THE PROUDCAST
The Monarque Collective
The Proudcast was started back in 2018 with the goal being conversations no one was having within the LGBTQ+ Community. Jump five years later into 2023 and now the conversation has never been more necessary. The Proudcast in 2023 will not feature everything and everyone because in order for things to change, we must learn that uncomfortable conversations must be had. Especially with the people who hate us, especially with the people within our LGBTQ+ community that hate each other, are condescending towards each other, and ultimately hurting each other. The Proudcast comes with a revival of faith in GOD and faith in our community.

Episode 1: ( T ) estamony - Part 1

How his substance abuse started in the summer of 2020, how it escalated over almost three years, how he survived the gay methamphetamine abuse world, how he lost everything, and how he found God through Jesus.

The Proudcast - Preview  - It’s perfectly Imperfect with Stephanie Z.
A super raw unedited preview of what this new version of The Proudcast will sound like.  I wanted to leave all the imperfections, because when we talk in real life, we don’t get to go back and edit what we say.  With that being said we are all a work in progress, and therefore the people in this podcast are also like you, still learning how to navigate and deal with life.  We are always in a stage of character development, and always willing to learn from one another, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.  The beautiful artists at the Monarque Collective hope you are able to use these conversations to spark conversations within your communities.  God Bless You All!
