Remain Teachable (ft. Lina Bradford)

We See Each Other: The Podcast

In episode two of this limited series, hosts Tre’vell Anderson and Shar Jossell discuss the first trans characters who changed their perspective on transness in media. Then later, special guest actress, DJ, and dancer, Lina Bradford graces us and shares what it was like coming up during the club kid era, her career, and who in media influenced her the most. After that, folks from the Unique Woman’s Coalition share their thoughts on how trans visibility, or even the lack of trans visibility, can have an effect on audiences.

Unlike with the book We See Each Other: A Black Trans Journey Through TV & Film, WSEO: The Podcast allows Tre’vell and co-host Shar to pass the mic, so to speak, to trans people who aren’t in the limelight. They might be your neighbor, or live on a different continent. Throughout the course of this series (through June 2023), and perhaps beyond, Tre’vell encourages anyone ‘in community’ to share their feedback and experiences with us, and it might be used on the show.
