(Preserving Pride Part 1)

A soundscape of Trans Pride Brighton 2024

I started working on this after being advised to stay in doors because the streets we’d marched on were now being threatened by rioters who feel anyone Brown, Black or different doesn’t belong.

Trans Pride Brighton was the first Trans Pride event outside of the United States. It is also one of the largest, gathering 45,000 people in 2024 in protest and celebration.

Trans Pride Brighton is where people gather in action to share their intention for the world to be better for them and each other.

Press play and join the march..

If you've been looking for a Black & queer perspective on AMC's Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire .. we got you covered ✨

Catch my latest episode of REFERENTIAL with award-winning poet Derrick Austin!

🩸

*also available everywhere you get your podcasts*

I’m joined on this episode by award-winning poet and vampire aficionado Derrick Austin!

We delve into the most recent adaptation of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, AMC’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire (Starring Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Bailey Bass, Eric Bogosian & Assad Zaman)

This conversation also includes our thoughts on the original book [Book 1 of The Vampire Chronicles] and the 1994 film adaptation of the story (Directed by Neil Jordan and starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Kirsten Dunst)

[spoilers all!]

+ Find out how we fit the following in

Early 90s straight-washing 

Race-blind casting vs adding to the narrative

Repressed desire and the glass closet

The existential terrors of being alive

‘Demonic White Daddies’

Queer hierarchies of privilege 

Mentorship and inter-community conflict

Abusive relationships

Selfishness & the toxicity of ‘queer families’

‘Containing’ Claudia

In defence of Armand 

The glass closets and taking queerness outside

De-centring whiteness in queer narratives

Clinton-era ‘radicalism’ today

Creole Lady Marmalade

Fantasies of carefree existence 

Rabid fanbases

This is a story about control.

Hopped on Referential, one of my favorite podcasts, to talk about Interview with the Vampire, the best show on tv! We talk both seasons, my love for Armand, and why, despite Tom Cruise and Kirsten Dunst’s best efforts, the 94 adaptation is not giving.

me, age 14: I want anatagonists that are morally gray, who don’t realize they’re bad. They should be conflicted and have meaningful backstories.

me now: i want a villain that has “evil” listed every day on their calendars except sundays when they have mimosas with the protagonist
