Girl Found Evie Sophia Bates

The Bay, Walt Whitman, and the impossible. This week I look back on the city that met me first, and the things that happen when you stop saying “I can’t.” I interview Tyler Prescott, executive director of the Upstate LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce located in Greenville, SC, and improv comic. We talk about the funny, the sad, and the wistful of growing up queer in the religious south.

Letters, drama, and saved face. This week on Girl Found, my siblings and I hold the leaders of the Adventist church accountable for Eric and Ann Marie’s abuse, and the conference replies. I interview Elaina Matthews on her experience in and out of the church, and how the systems of leadership and power protect abusers. || This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Unclockable.
