I really had a hard time feeling like just knowing where I stood, as somebody who worked in HIV, as an HIV leader, but realizing that the spaces that I was in were probably better taken up by people who were black, in some ways at least that was the question that I always had.
Imagine starting your day with a walk that’s not just about getting from point A to B, but also about unraveling complex layers of identity. In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet takes us on her morning commute, sharing raw and candid reflections on whiteness, intersectionality, and spirituality from her unique perspective as a trans genderqueer spiritual drag artist.
Bonnie's journey isn't just about physical steps; it's a metaphorical walk through her life experiences, touching on moments of racial discrimination and the challenges of being in HIV leadership roles. She recounts incidents like being kicked out of a tattoo parlor in Texas, which serve as stark reminders of the pervasive nature of racism. But it’s not all about the struggles. Bonnie's narrative is infused with a sense of hope and resilience.
She talks about learning from these encounters and finding strength in vulnerability. This episode is more than just a personal story; it’s an invitation to reflect on our own experiences with race and identity. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or simply curious about how spirituality intersects with queerness and social justice, Bonnie’s walk and talk offers valuable insights wrapped in heartfelt storytelling.
