Hello queers!

This is Kirya, she/her femme if you’re nasty

I’ve missed y’all! It’s been too long

…I’m back in your ears because I made something really special that I want to share with you. For those of you who loved Cheers & Queers for our Black Femme realness, our occasional witchy remarks, and our commitment to center things Black & femme… I think you’re going to really enjoy this limited series that I made in collaboration with the Dance Theater company, Sydnie L Mosley Dances. Spotlight in PURPLE - The Podcast. There are currently three episodes in season 2 that I wrote, hosted, produced, and edited MYSELF (with some support from a couple of amazing friends and colleagues who responded to my late-night texts and DMs with nothing but love)... I’m honestly really proud of this work, and so…

I’m dropping the first episode here in this feed. If you like it, please go over the Spotlight in Purple show, subscribe, and share with others. It would mean the world to me!

Thank you!!!

Former C&Q Co-host, Kirya, share’s a new podcast she’s been working on.

Spotlight in PURPLE -The Podcast shines a light on themes and questions in the creative work of the Dance Theatre Company, Sydnie L. Mosley Dances. In Episode 1, Building the Altar: The Creation of PURPLE by SLMD, we learn about the history of how SLMDances became a collective, the values that guide the work, and how those values show up inside their newest work, PURPLE: A Ritual in Nine Spells.
