On today’s show, Jenee Darden from the new Sights & Sounds Show introduces us to four Bay Area activists who are using their art to send a message.
In this hour:
- Drag performer and disability activist Alex Locust, aka Glamputee.
- Kin Folkz, who’s established a queer arts space in Oakland that helps LGBTQ+ artists thrive — and heal.
- Writer and performer Vanessa Rochelle Lewis, who founded Reclaim UGLY, which helps people heal from “uglification” and celebrate their beauty.
- Bay Area queen Nicki Jizz, who created an all-Black drag show called Reparations as a showcase for Black Excellence.
Tune into the new Sights & Sounds Show with Jenee Darden every Wednesday at 4pm. Only on KALW.
