🎙️ On this episode Athena, and Lusi join musician and rapper Damag3 with guest co-hosts Samantha Helvig and Boy Bowser! Today the trans narrative co-hosts sit with Damag3 as they talk (anti) capitalism, commercialism, and why communal responsibility outweighs individualism. ⭐️DAMAG3 is a multi-faceted performer who challenges all those who listen to their music to get comfortablewith discomfort and to recenter their life around healing and happiness. Their lyrics draw from over a decade worth of their experiences with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. She manages to be real about the effects of recovering from these traumas without romanticizing the experiences. This ripple effect of healing can be found in the brutal surrender thatis DAMAG3’s lyrics. These topics range from the failures of politicians to protect people, the continued abuse against black and brown bodies, the demonization of the LGBTQ community, and the hypocrisy of the Christian Faith. ⭐️Links to guest social media DAMAG3 | Music GatewayTodays episode was developed, directed, produced and edited by Caroline The Trans Narrative was created by Caroline Our theme song today is “Make it real to me” written and sung by Boy Bowser Music by Athena Promachus Content for today provided byGuest: Damag3This episode of The Trans Narrative Podcast is sponsored and powered by Spotify for podcasters , aka Anchor, the easiest way to upload a podcast.
