What Wakes Me Up/Moccasin Tracks presents:
What Wakes Me Up Episode 5 mainstream LGBTQIA
two informative illustrations by Kat Sharp for “Swing Bridge Stories.”
This episode casts a light on the our LGBTQIA family and friends. You’ll hear about Swing Bridge Stories, from author and illustrator couple Bronwyn Hughes and Kat Sharp. These stories take place in rural Mathews, Virginia, and feature queer characters, just as everyday fictional people in realistic settings. You’ll hear about Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth, soon to be released, from the author, Alexis Stratton. Our fourth voice is Justin Sykes, who works with VACommunityVoice.org to prevent gentrification and build community along the section of Route 1 south of the Belvidere Bridge.
I met all four at Richmond Friends Meeting. Justin was a young friend when I served in First Day school, i.e., Sunday school at Quaker meeting.
What Wakes Me Up is a Sunny Gardener Production hosted on WRIR 97.3 FM and WRIR.ORG and other community media outlets.
and here’s a non sequitur from the master, VCU graduate David Wiley Miller, whom I knew in the early ’70s when we were students and neighbors.

The Church of the Ecstatic presents:
The Church of the Ecstatic 32 – Let’s Queer things UP!
I had been planning this playlist for Pride month ages ago, but this week it became especially important. A personal and emotional show for me, focusing on gender and LGBT issues and artists – especially artists that opened my eyes and inspired me through the years. No matter your identity or orientation, stand tall. Much love to you all!
