    Being Trans w/ Leigh Angel Christopher

    First person on Deconstruct to be in the “red chair” is Leigh Angel Christopher, a transwoman with whom I went to university. We talk about her experience growing up, transitioning, we talk about mental health and safety. In the second half of the show we look at being trans through a macrocosmic lens meaning that we look at the big picture of everything, the complex structure, and in the end really gaining a larger understanding on what role our language plays in this discourse.  This interview was truly a fascination for me, and I am sure it will be for anyone who listens. We get to peer into the life of a transperson and really ask the hard-hitting questions. She was a pleasure to have on the show; Leigh is incredibly thoughtful and insightful, and it was illuminating to hear her opinions and what shapes her worldview.  Follow Leigh Angel Christopher on Twitter and Instagram @itsmissleigh Deconstruct Media Social Tings: Twitter @yoavery | Instagram @wowlamar If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to deconstructmediapod@gmail.com LINKS https://link.medium.com/hAoA2GSu33 https://medium.com/deconstruct-media https://twitter.com/yoavery https://instagram.com/wowlamar

    On Death Penalty

    In this “On” Series, I will be conducting in-depth research on different institutions, ideas and concepts, and policies — this way we can all gain a better understanding at how they all effect us.  This week we’re looking at the Death Penalty. The main reason for this episode is discussing the issues surrounding the inherent constitutionality of the death penalty. Further getting into its racial implications, and drawing connections between older American extrajudicial practices and today’s governmental functions. Drawing this parallel is to uncover the true ills in the background of the Death Penalty.

    A path to enhanced mobility

    We first hear an interview I did back in October 2019 with Josh Anderson, Host of the Assistive Technology Update podcast. We discussed the tech start-up that I worked for, their philosophy, and the technology. Further, we get into the concept of tech leaving people behind and how that will affect us in the future.

Some of the topics that are discussed include Chinese history, an enlightening conversation I had with a Chinese woman, and my vote for the most influential video of 2019, which comes from an unlikely competitor.
