Plam Beach Pride (w/One Voice Mixed Chorus)

Happy Pride, Scorekeepers! And welcome to our Pride Extravaganza 2022! This week, we talk about some of our favorite Pride memories and play another round of Icebreakers. This time around, we get real (meet) cute as we each share the story of how we met our partners. Awwwww... <3 After that, we're honored to be joined by Jane Ramseyer Miller and Kymani Kahlil of One Voice Mixed Chorus, one the largest LGBTQ+ choruses in North America, based right here in St. Paul, MN! They talk about the incredible equity and advocacy work they are doing around the state and tell us about their upcoming concert, Sound Mind, which explores mental health from a queer perspective through music, art and song. Finally, we couldn't end the show without a thorough accounting of all the QUEER Black things that are bringing us joy this week, so shout-outs to Angel Maxine and Saucy Santana! Let's do it to it, y'all!STAY SAFE, HAVE FUN, AND HAPPY PRIDE!!!Hosts: Lee Bynum, Iyawo Inawale, Rocky JonesGuests: Kymani Kahlil, Jane Ramseyer MillerProducer: Rocky JonesMusic: Angel Maxine - "Wo Fie" feat Wanlov the Kubolor & Sister DeborahLinksOne Voice Mixed Chorus (Website) (Facebook)Sound Mind (Buy Tickets) (Podcast)Bayard Rustin (Wikipedia)Pauli Murray (Wikipedia)Angel Maxine: Emergency Fund (GoFundMe)New episodes of THE SCORE drop every other Monday.
