10: Be Yourself to Free Yourself Talk of the Hill

In this episode, we sat down with Ty MaGee (President of St. Thomas University Student's Union), Sofia Mehlitz (Internal Coordinator of the 203 Centre) & our favourite drag queens in the Fredericton area, Freeda Whales and Succubus to deep dive into the topics around 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, being queer in New Brunswick, coming out and the ongoing issues in these spaces including racism and transphobia. Freeda and Succubus also opened up about their experiences in the drag community and shared some tips on how people can get involved as a performer - "show up to our shows and have fun, we want to get to know you", said Freeda.
