DND 110: The Category Is...

from Durags & Degrees · host Durags & Degrees

For our Season One Finale, we decided to base the discussion around the trailblazing favorite, POSE. POSE is a record-breaking show that spotlights a scene near and dear to the queer community, house culture. One of the main characters from Pose, Blanca, says, "your house is a family you can choose. And the balls allow you to celebrate the life others do not deem worthy." We couldn't do this episode without having a trans perspective, given the pivotal role that Black and Latinx transwomen played in the creation of house culture. For this reason, we are joined by our guest, Harmen (@himhunonline). We spoke with her about some of her house culture experiences, but also just about this show we know and love. If you would like to give your perspective on a topic we have slated, feel free to contact us @duragsanddegreespod on Instagram and Facebook. Be sure to follow, subscribe, and rate on all your favorite streaming platforms, and we'll catch y'all in Season 2!

In 2016 he had both a crisis of his Christian faith as well as a racial identity crisis (you can guess why). Since then he’s been on a journey to reconnect with his blackness in a way he never has before. Joining him will be his Black BFFs and the “Bow & Dre” to his “Junior,” JD and Yolanda T. Cochran. Every episode they’ll discuss issues of race and religion, politics and pop culture. Shade will be thrown. Jokes will be made. And provocative conversations will be had. He’s just one nerdy Oreo tryna become a double-fudge brownie y’all. So go easy on a brutha. (Note: Season 1 originally aired via the Ebony Podcast Network when it was live.) Explicit
