Live from STAR WARS CELEBRATION 2022! (ft. Catrina Dennis & Alden Díaz)

Saturday May 28th was a magical day. On that day the Triad of the Force hosted a panel, live at the Star Wars Celebration Podcast Stage! It was such a special moment to be part of this convention and bring our Puerto Rican perspective on a panel! We were so lucky to have some amazing people in attendance, but more privileged to have been joined by Catrina Dennis and Alden Díaz on this panel. Today we're very happy to present our live panel, where we discussed the intersectionality of representation in both media and fandom. We were so lucky to have been able to do this, needless to say, this episode is one we'll forever cherish in our hearts.  • • • Please check out The Amidala Initiative a "...community-operated, nonprofit campaign which seeks to use our platform to raise funds for Equality Texas, the largest nonpartisan statewide political advocacy organization working to eliminate discrimination targeting the LGBTQ+ community in the state of Texas. It is our goal to show that our community can follow in the footsteps of a character like Padmé Amidala, who tirelessly used her voice to speak up to protect disenfranchised and endangered people within a flawed political system. While we may not have the reach, impact or resources of larger online presences, we do not believe that is an excuse to sit by silently as hate seeks to establish stronger footholds and threaten our most vulnerable siblings in our own galaxy."
