    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND ARCADIA★Instagram - @ArcadiaEspinoza31★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★Website - http://www.queerolina.orgFacebook - QueerolinaInstagram - @queerolinaorgBlueSky - http://queerolinaorg.bsky.social★Summary★Becca and Ko sit down with Arcadia today to talk identity, disruption, and giving 👩‍🦲 head. Arcadia takes us on their personal journey from shame to pride and the punk philosophy they use to dissect and dismantle social norms and find their identity. Then, we get serious with a discussion about cult mentalities, hate crimes, and the long-lasting impact both can have on a community. From resistance to resilience, Arcadia has a uniquely informed insight on queer self-expression.★Keywords★queer vision podcast, queerolina, arcadia, arcadia espinoza, queer community, identity, activism, drag, mental health, social justice, LGBTQ+ history, community support

    How do you know when your characters are gay? | B.L. Brown | The Queer Vision Ep. 76

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND B.L. BROWN★ Website - BrittaWritesThings.com Instagram - @BrittaWritesThings Threads - Britta writes stuff Books available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org (request through your local indie bookstore!) ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Becca sits down with author B.L. Brown (Britta) — writer of witchy urban fantasy, cozy monster romance set at band camp, and German fairy-tale romance set at a magical Oktoberfest. Britta talks about where her ideas actually come from (a second-trimester pregnancy dream is directly responsible for one series), her winding path from fanfiction to legal writing to nightlife reporting to published author, and her mantra that "there's no failure in marketing, only data." They dig into how she approaches queerness in her characters — letting sexuality emerge organically rather than assigning it upfront — and Britta opens up about her own bi identity, coming out later in life, her marriage to a supportive cis het partner, and what it means to finally look back and recognize she'd "been queer a lot longer than she thought." It's a warm, funny conversation about creativity, self-acceptance, and showing up as yourself. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, B.L. Brown, Britta Brown, queer romance, urban fantasy, cozy monster romance, bisexual author, bi identity, LGBTQ books, indie author, witchy fiction, paranormal romance, coming out later in life, neurodivergent, ADHD, self-publishing, book marketing

    Why Assume Everyone's Gay Until Proven Otherwise? | Apollyon | The Queer Vision Ep. 75

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND APOLLYON★ Drag Instagram - @apollyonghoul Personal Instagram - @awheelerofficial Film company - Murder Associates Productions (search on YouTube; audio dramas on Spotify) ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Becca sits down with Apollyon (they/them off-stage) — a drag performer, pole dancer, incoming pharmacy student, and co-owner of queer horror production company Murder Associates Productions. They talk about how disability (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, autism, and dysautonomia) has shaped Apollyon's career choices, from neuroscience to public health to pharmacy school, and how drag became an unexpected space of bodily autonomy and gender freedom as a genderqueer, trans, AFAB performer who loves femininity without being read as a woman. The conversation moves into horror as a genre uniquely built for social commentary — using films like Carrie and The Haunting of Hill House to talk about media literacy, empathy-building, and getting away from "bury your gays" trauma-porn representation. Apollyon also shares their filmmaking philosophy of building explicitly queer stories from the ground up, plus their work in tabletop RPGs, indie horror publishing, and Boulet Brothers' Dragula fandom. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, Apollyon, drag performer, genderqueer, trans, AFAB, disability, chronic illness, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, autism, dysautonomia, pole dance, horror film, indie filmmaking, queer horror, Murder Associates Productions, Dragula, media literacy, bury your gays, LGBTQ podcast

    How Do You Turn Election-Night Rage Into a Trauma Practice? | Trauma Recovery Collective | Ep. 74

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND TRAUMA RECOVERY COLLECTIVE★ Instagram - @TRCPLLC Also listed on Psychology Today Located in Raleigh, North Carolina ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Ko and Becca sit down together this week with Dr. Amy Duffy and Alex of Trauma Recovery Collective, a politically-forward, trauma-focused therapy practice based in Raleigh, NC. Amy shares how she launched TRC right after the 2024 election, channeling her twenty years of trauma specialization into building a space explicitly for people under attack — with sliding-scale and pro bono accessibility built into the model from day one. Alex talks about starting (and soon relaunching) a support group for trans and non-binary clients, and the two dig into what "being over-therapized" actually looks like, why boundaries make therapists more trustworthy rather than less, inner child work and Internal Family Systems ("parts work"), and where astrology and spirituality can healthily fit into a therapeutic relationship. It's a candid, human-first conversation about what it means to hold space for people right now. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, Trauma Recovery Collective, Dr. Amy Duffy, trauma therapy, somatic healing, politically forward therapy, LGBTQ therapy, trans support group, non-binary mental health, sliding scale therapy, Raleigh North Carolina, Internal Family Systems, IFS, parts work, inner child healing, boundaries, over-therapized, mental health podcast

    What Happens When You Finally Break a 30-Year Writer's Block? | Troy Ford | The Queer Vision Ep. 73

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND TROY FORD★ Website - troyfordauthor.com Substack (Ford Knows Books) - troyford.substack.com Substack (Qstack, queer newsletter directory) - qstack.substack.com Instagram / Facebook / Threads / BlueSky / Goodreads / BookBub - Troy Ford Author ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Becca sits down this week with Troy Ford — author, newsletter publisher, house-husband, and dog daddy — calling in from Sitges, Spain, the gay-Mecca beach town he's called home for seven years. They talk about his debut novel Lamb and his upcoming release Water Spout, both part of what Troy calls his "pink sheep novels" — stories about queer people who don't quite fit even inside queer spaces. Troy opens up about a 30-year writer's block born from a single humiliating critique as a teenager, and how COVID lockdown in a tiny Barcelona apartment finally broke it. They also dig into Qstack, the Substack directory Troy built to help queer writers find each other on a platform with no built-in way to search by identity, plus sobriety, therapy, dissociation, and what it's like watching American politics unfold from across the Atlantic. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, Troy Ford, queer fiction, literary fiction, gay authors, Substack, Qstack, Ford Knows Books, Lamb novel, Water Spout novel, writer's block, sobriety, dissociation, anxiety, queer expats, Sitges Spain, self-publishing, LGBTQ books

    What Happens When You're "One of the Good Ones"? | Chany Blaze | The Queer Vision Ep. 72

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND CHANY BLAZE★ Instagram/TikTok (personal) - @cdot.blaze Instagram/SoundCloud (DJ platform) - Chany Blaze Booking - email available in bio links ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Becca sits down solo this week with Chantel Reed — known behind the decks as Chany Blaze — a fintech professional by day and DJ, event curator, and host by night. They talk about what it means to build queer nightlife spaces that actually feel like home, how Chany channels stage anxiety into a full-body performance switch, and the difference between conversation and entertaining a crowd. From there the conversation goes deep: navigating a Black and Filipino identity that's never felt "enough" for either side, the complicated privilege of being femme-presenting and queer in a world that reads race before anything else, and the gut-punch of watching family members reveal who they really are once politics gets personal. Chany closes it out with one simple piece of advice for living well: mind your business, and let your business be the best version of you. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, Chany Blaze, Chantel Reed, DJ, event curator, queer nightlife, Black queer woman, Filipino American, biracial identity, femme presenting, LGBTQ podcast, queer people of color, bodily autonomy, boundaries, found family, fintech, stage fright, imposter syndrome
