Isake and Kirya have an unfiltered conversation about cultivating spaces for black queerness to thrive with, Jarvis Green, the Founder & Producing Artistic Director of Jag Productions, a Black theatre company in Upper Valley Vermont. We touch on friendships, family, and the presence and absence of queer narratives in our history and our lives.
