Episode 9, Christa Orth

In this episode you’ll hear host Effie Dusoleil talk with Christa Orth about their research in queer and trans history of the Pacific Northwest, how it felt to see herself inside of a rich history of queer and trans ancestors, how their performances in drag helped them to express themselves on a literal stage, and how people’s stories that center justice and joy bring them so much inspiration. We discuss the ways historical fights for liberation aid our own liberation today, how we ourselves are the product of our ancestors surviving, and how our lives offer us the opportunity to be generous and supportive during the fight. You can find more information about Christa’s creative writing here: https://www.christaorth.com/ and their fundraising consulting practice, Seaworthy Fundraising, here: https://www.seaworthy.consulting/.Follow, subscribe, & share to spread the news: Being queer is righteous!  We will survive!
