The Community Check-In Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 13

<p>This week, Micah B, Dupree, and Justin take a step back after another Pride season to ask one important question: What happens after Pride?</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation begins with a Letter From the Pushers that revisits the ongoing debate around Pride, sexuality, and respectability politics. The hosts reflect on the backlash from a previous conversation and explore why Pride can celebrate sexual freedom while remaining rooted in protest, visibility, advocacy, and community care.</p><p><br></p><p>From there, the crew checks in on the state of the Black LGBTQ+ community. They discuss supporting Black queer artists beyond Pride Month, the responsibility of creators and organizations, the impact of reality television and media exploitation, and why civic engagement, voting, and year-round community building matter just as much as showing up to Pride.</p><p><br></p><p>The episode also celebrates Black queer joy, entrepreneurship, local organizers, and the people creating meaningful spaces for our community every day. Honest, reflective, and rooted in love, this conversation is a reminder that Pride doesn’t end on June 30. The work, the joy, and the community continue all year long.</p><p><br></p><p>⸻</p><p><br></p><p>Executive Producer</p><p>Micah Butler</p><p><br></p><p>Producer</p><p>Justin B.
