    Today on PoP I’m chatting with transgender stand up comedian, speaker and actor Dina Nina who is talking about her passion: THE DIVINE FEMININE! My Passion Plug goes out to producer Christine Ferrera. She has a Patreon where you can support her work as a comedian, storyteller and video artist. She is an artist, comedian and writer. She merges performance art and stand-up comedy to create singular, bizarre and often absurdist work that challenges social hierarchies with a gut-punch of truth.  Visit https://www.patreon.com/christineferrera to sign up to support a brilliant artist.  Dina’s passion plug is her podcast I Love Funny Women and her friend/co-host Lalita Dee!
