The Queer Hustle Visibility Summit is a 2 day virtual event for queer womxn entrepreneurs, creatives, freelancers and side hustlers on June 6-7, 2020.
I am organizing and moderating a panel discussion at the summit titled “Audience Building and Crowdfunding for your Podcast“. In this panel discussion you will hear from queer podcasters who have built communities around their podcasts and how they sustain their podcasts financially through crowdfunding.
Joining the panel are the hosts/creators of popular queer podcasts: Jessie Blount & Lark Malakia Grey of The Gayly Prophet, Molly Woodstock of Gender Reveal and Ellie Brigida of Lez Hang Out. You can read their bios below!
Registration to attend the summit is FREE.
Jessie Blount and Lark Malakia Grey (from the Gayly Prophet)
The Gayly Prophet is an intersectional, queer Harry Potter analysis podcast hosted by Jessie Blount (she/her), a queer woman of color, and Lark Malakai Grey (he/him), a disabled trans person. Together they discuss the books chapter by chapter through a “humorous, yet ruthless” lens. As a reviewer said, “if you want to queer the way you engage with the witchy world of HP, challenge the systemic problems in that world as well as our own, have your heart torn in two by seeing the beauty in the what-ifs, and laugh so hard it hurts, I urge you to give this podcast a listen!”
