What Is In a Name?

January 09, 2023 06:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MB

"What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." - William Shakespeare For 45 YEARS, I carried the name Fabiana. A name that never felt... fitting. It was beautiful nonetheless but seemed... tainted. Like its origin wasn't empowered by a truly positive meaning. I had always known that I was named after my father's mother, my grandmother. However, that is all I knew. So I let it be. Over the 2021 Thanksgiving Holiday, I decided to ask mi mamita (my...

Rosa Alejandra aka Alex-PART 2-Listener Questions

December 05, 2022 04:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MB

This Episode is a small continuation of my coming out story along with me answering questions submitted to me by listeners. Being queer doesn't have to feel lonely and it doesn't have to feel hard but the truth is, at times, the path feels like both of those things. It's time we, as a community of queers and queer advocates, come together to cultivate a journey of least resistance by creating safe spaces and places for one another. Starting doesn't have to be big, it just takes a step forwar...

A collaboration between, me, what was realistically in my heart & Mind and... Divine intervention. And even more of a bonus, the divine calling didn't stop with me!

Rosa Alejandra aka Alex-PART 1

November 11, 2022 08:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MB

She experienced some of the hardest challenges in life only to preserve.

Lisa

She’s a beautiful, strong, and a very intelligent woman of color who grew up in the culturally diverse city of Houston, Texas. Her family’s deep rooted religion of Catholicism played an integral part in her fear of accepting herself. However, their reaction when she decides to let them in, may shock you ALL. Fast forward to today. She’s happily married and gives us a little advice as to how to make love work. As I listen to her story, I’m highly aware that this will be an inspirational story...

MATT

April 12, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

As I stare at his picture, I see a very handsome, fair-skinned man with a red beard, sporting a black baseball cap with a fish hook decorating the bill. Intently, he stares into the blue skies as though he’s studying the beauty all around him. Looking at this picture, I would have never known that only a few years ago, Matt went by the name of… Melanie.  For a second, try to imagine being assigned a female body that didn’t match your inner male being. Now, imagine feeling this way and growi...

Such a beautiful couple. Each grew up Austin, Texas. Yet, the dynamic between their two families will send them down different paths, only for them to end up in each other’s arms.

Their coming out and love stories are quite the wild ride, so...

Zack

March 15, 2020 04:00 - 46 minutes - 31.9 MB

 Zack is a young, handsome man of color. His Mexican descent helps to establish his dark, latino features. He wears his smile with confidence and his humbling, millennial attitude meshes perfectly with his personality. At the age of 26, he nervously sits before me at the anticipation of letting me into small, yet (very) personal pieces of his life. Growing up in that traditional latin culture led by his family’s Jehovah’s Witness religion was already hard. Now, imagine growing up latino, in ...

Season One: The Trailer

The denial of social acceptance has hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community at an all time high. In order to take a stand, we must rise in unity. It is in the face of our greatest opposition that these TRUE stories of bravery, triumph, and love from every day queer people will light our way through the darkness.  Together, we must "rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas
