GoLO Episode 1: Defining GoLO with Wine Winners

Episode 1 was so fun. We discussed a lot on this show.  Here are some of the topics and stories mentioned in the show.

First, we watched Panti Bliss give her speech at the theatre in Ireland.  Here is her speech.

 

This video and conversation mentioned the Open Letter to RuPaul written by Dina Martinez.  Definitely check it out.

When the issue of race came up, an episode of Designing Women was referenced.  Here is the specific episode and you can judge for yourself whether we have come much further since 1987.

We also talked about a movie, Living Out Loud. Here is the dance scene we mentioned when talking about being re-born and the magnitude these moments have on our future. The movie features Danny Devito, Queen Latifah, and Holly Hunter.

 

Jenna referenced an article by Peggy McIntosh.  Here is a link to her paper, White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack.  Another article was suggested too if you’re interested. Here is the link to Camara Phyllis Jone’s (MD, MPH, PhD) article, Level’s of Racism: A Theoretic Framework and a Gardner’s Tale

I hope you loved the show!  Feel free to comment or add other relatable references.
