Community w/ Kristen Kaza - Ep. 159

We all want it, we all need it, but sometimes, we're not quite sure
how to find it. That's why people like Kristen Kaza dedicate their
lives to building community through events and creating "brave
spaces" for LGBTQIA folks. Kristen is the party guru, event
planner, and activist behind Reunion Chicago, Chicago’s beloved
queer dance party Slo 'Mo, and more. She has worked on holding
space and building events and gatherings where the LGBTQIA
community can connect with, enjoy, and sometimes, challenge each
other. We talk about how our communities are changing, and how
COVID has shifted the way we connect. Plus, Melody implores our
listeners to shed light on the Beaver festival, while Carolyn
attempts to save her queer cred by binging gay movies. Finally, we
answer a question from a baby gay with an adorable crush. -Get
