TRANSformative Stories, Trans Lifeline, and Embodied Trans Joy with Jahmil Roberts and Cristian Solano-Córdova (Part 2)

Part 2 of OutSources host kelly drumright’s conversation with Jahmil Roberts (he/they) and Cristian Solano-Córdova (he/they), two monologists with Boulder-based MOTUS Theater. We get into Jahmil’s amazing work as the Hotline Operations and Care Manager at Trans Lifeline, a hot and warm line that does NOT call the cops like many other hotlines do. We also have a lovely conversation about embodied, gender expansive joy.

 

There is an upcoming MOTUS Theater TRANSformative Stories performance this Friday, November 15, 2024 from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Canyon Theater at the Boulder Public Library. Find more information at motustheater.org.

Part 1 of this conversation aired on October 7, 2024. We discussed the need for a proliferation of nuanced narratives of gender expansive experiences and the double-edged sword of increased trans visibility. You can find Part 1 and the entire OutSources archive at kgnu.org/category/outsources.
