SPEAK YOUR TRUTH Elias Mark

Micah and Elias have been busy looking for a new place to live in Humboldt County. Elias’ old place has progressively raised their rent but added nothing new since moving in 3 years ago, and Micah is looking for community opportunities to share with others in the comfort of our new home. For the next several weeks we’ll be tracking our progress, frustration, and goals for our new living space. Thanks for listening!

It’s my mom’s birthday!!! I wanted to show her some love in the beginning, play a little game with my buddy Micah, and end it with a cool convo with Mat from the What We Didn’t Learn In Business School podcast. Thanks for listening! If you want to come on follow me @speak.your.truth.888 and slide in my DMs I’d love to hear what you have to say ❤️

As the month comes to a close Elias and Micah reflect on the past month and talk about where they’re going in the future. Thanks for listening! Thank you to Queer Humboldt for having me on their panel and if you’re able to, go watch Framing Agnes. It’s got great queer representation with a wide spectrum of trans folks from the 1950’s.

Thank you for listening! Please support the programs and organizations you heard speak at this panel. They’re strengthening the community through murals, employment opportunities, and music. The next episode will be out on 1/30 about this local grocery store and how the community is handling it. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2023/jan/18/video-security-camera-footage-shows-physical-encou/

This episode was recorded at one of our local open mic nights at Herb and Market in Humboldt County. The poetry you heard was written and performed by Jozer Guerrero, he speaks with power and soul about his experiences experiencing racial discrimination and having to play into stereotypes for his profession, his brother’s wedding, and the passing of his uncle. Please support him and his art on Instagram @jozergmusic.

Elias and Micah talk about their gender transitions and living more authentic lives because of it.
