    Notes on PRIDE: Gender, Identity, and Allyship
    Oct 1 2024

    In this candid conversation, we explore the complexities of identity, from the power of labels in connecting to humanity, to the challenges of navigating intersectional marginalization. Our guests discuss the covert policing of gender and sexuality, how misgendering devalues individuals, and offer practical ways to be an ally in a world that often weaponizes our identity.

    Tune in to 'Notes on PRIDE', released in honor of Durham Pride Celebrations this past weekend.
