Are you easily confused by terms like cultural appropriation, cisgender, toxic masculinity, twunk, queer, black girl magic, and woke? Or maybe you’re tired of explaining terms like these and you need a community that gets you! Welcome to Minority Korner, where we take an introspective look at the world. through an intersectional lens. Join James: a queer, political, comedian, self proclaimed, sexy blerd (that’s Black Nerd) and each week he's joined in the Korner by another fabulous minority tackling pop culture, the news, media, and history all with a little self care, and self love sprinkled throughout! It’s time to Learn, Laugh, and Play, right here at Minority Korner- because together: we’re the majority! (Part of the Maximum Fun Network)

episode 299: MKEP299: The Work Continues (Derek Chauvin Verdict, National Day of Silence, Seaspiracy, Scott Rudin #Broadwayfightsback, Karen Olivio, Reparations, Supporting Black Owned Businesses, Bachelor Colton Underwood Comes Out)
Thank goddess our editor Sarah Brown (she/her) hops from behind the mic to in front of it, because the verdict of the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd is in- we react, our honest thoughts, feelings, and what’s next. Then in Broadway news we talk about our Sparkling Diamond Karen Olivio’s departure from Moulin Rouge in protest of the industry’s ignoring of big time producer Scott Rudin’s abuse – and dive into the systemic nature of his behavior. Where’s HR? James have taken the bait and fallen down the rabbit hole with the Netflix documentary Seaspircy. In the main Korner, in honor of National Day of Silence, and on the heels of the Bachelor’s Colton Underwoods coming out, James walks us through the importance of The National Day of Silence, it’s meaning, and what it means queer folks, particularly youth. Then Sarah shows us what reparations can look like in supporting Black businesses, in her own BQQVC Korner, and really has all the items you’ll need for your next 4/20!
**Note** We do talk about issues of suicide in this episode as it continues to be an epidemic amongst queer youth, so if these subjects are disturbing to you, take care of yourself.
