from Somewhere: for us Hosted by Jules Stapleton Barnes
Published in August 2023 "We are here building something together and to hold space for the dreamwork" says Katucha, of the anti-racist and anti-transphobic community she's hoping for. In this episode, Ru, Katucha and Jules share their Pride stories; past, present and future and what they're hopeful for living in Scotland. We talk love, language, allyship and how sometimes we need to "kill joy" to build a better, safer world.
