A few weeks ago we hosted a special Takeaway live on Facebook that served as holiday preparation. You can watch the full event here.


We spoke with Dr. Monique Morris, President and CEO of Grantmakers for Girls of Color, Imara Jones, creator of TransLash Media, and Bré Rivera, writer and co-creator of The Femme Queen Chronicle about how we hold space for challenging but necessary conversations around gender identity with our loved ones as we all come together for the holidays. 


We also heard from our listeners and staff on what their holiday plans are as we encounter another holiday season during the COVID-19 pandemic.
