0.06: Race in SPOP Part 3

It's the third installment of our now-traditional post-season Race in SPOP discussion! Now BIGGER and BETTER than ever, with 100% more guests!!! Topics include colonization in Etheria, puritanical fan culture, representations of Blackness in villainy, the deep importance of diversity in the writers room, and SO MUCH MORE.   Princess Alba Daza is an emerging Latinx writer, director & consultant based in Montreal, Canada. Alba has been working in the film industry for 10 years. In addition to her work in film, Alba was a producer on the popular podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, and has consulted on anti-racism in the film and education sectors. Her art focuses on telling & celebrating the stories of marginalized voices, giving them space to breathe and thrive. Through her work, she is decolonizing popular culture and slaying white supremacy!   Head Sorceress Shawn Harris (who we welcome back!) is an author, educator and huge nerd from Richmond, Virginia. As the mind behind Project Tzimtzum, she creates and runs learning activities that connect curious seekers with Judaism and each other through imagination and play. When she's not coming up with fun new ways to engage people in Jewish text and tradition, Shawn is a huge fan of fantasy, horror and SciFi, and channels her love of these genres through theater and role playing games. Her debut poetry collection, "The Red Door," is a dark fantasy that combines Jewish folklore & mysticism with queer romance. It's currently available on Ben Yehuda Press.   BUY SHAWN'S BOOK: https://www.benyehudapress.com/books/the-red-door/   Find Project Tzimtzum on Twitter: https://tinyurl.com/yk5yn5hk   Find Alba on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/2p8493em   Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heyadoracast   For more information, you can head over to our website HeyAdora.gay or https://linktr.ee/HeyAdora.
