Podcast: Play in new window
This week, I discuss past and present activism within the Dallas LGBT and African-American communities with Alpha Thomas. A long-time activist, mother, and breast cancer survivor, Alpha recalls her cross-coalition work towards HIV awareness and gay adoptions, as well as discussing her intent to re-start Umoja Hermanos, a poetry and support circle for lesbians of color.
I’m also talking with Mark Anthony Lord, founder and director of the Bodhi Spiritual Center in Chicago, Illinois, and central visionary for the Liberation 2010, a new conference focusing on Spirituality and LGBTQ people. Liberation 2010 will be in Los Angeles, California, April 8 -11, 2010. I’m speaking with Mark by phone about his spiritual background, and what exactly sparked this conference. Register for the conference at http://www.liberation2010.com
Music in the show from producer, Aspect.One’s project, Vibe Over. Grab while you can at Bandcamp.
