In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Queer Superheroes in Marvel & DC: The Good, The Bad & The Erased 1:01:43

منذ 3 أيام1:01:43

1:01:43

Send us a message In this episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer, we’re suiting up to tackle queer representation in the Marvel and DC universes . From Wiccan and America Chavez to Loki and Mystique , we break down who’s repping the LGBTQ+ community in Marvel and DC —and where these mega-franchises still need to do better. But first, Katie spills all about recent queer events in Perth , including Fringe, Perth Fest, and Craft in the Park hosted by Pride Shed , a cozy monthly gathering where queer folks craft, connect, and, apparently, darn socks (shoutout to Kevin!). We also tackle some hard-hitting global LGBTQ+ news —like Hungary’s Pride ban and the impact of politics on identity. Plus, we chat about the Australian PM showing up at Mardi Gras and why political support (or lack thereof) matters for the queer community. It's also Western Australian State Elections so we are reminding everyone to get out and vote! The Main Event: Queer Superheroes & Villains in Marvel & DC 💥 Wiccan, Agatha, Batwoman, America Chavez, Iceman, Loki, Deadpool & More! – Which characters bring authentic LGBTQ+ stories to the big screen, and who’s getting erased? 🔥 Straight-Washing & Tokenism – When studios downplay or erase queer identities in mainstream films. 🎭 Comic vs. Film Representation – Why are some characters queerer in the comics than in the movies? 💡 Why Representation Matters – The impact of positive queer storytelling in superhero media. We love hearing from you! 💌 Drop us a DM or email us at letsbeperfectlyqueerpod@gmail.com and let us know: Who’s your favorite LGBTQ+ superhero? What queer characters deserve more screen time?

Send us a message This episode has a warning: there are some mentions of suicide and hate towards the LGBTQIA+ community. Skip forward to 28:10 when you hear the episode warning. In today's episode, we dive into some news and explore the history of the rainbow flag. But before we get into that, we catch up with each other and discuss recent events like the annual Vic Park Pride fundraising event Perth Barn dance. Moving on to the news segment, we discuss the Australian government's decision to exclude LGBTQIA questions from the 2026 census, which has faced backlash and criticism from advocates. After the news segment, we finally delve into the history and significance of the rainbow flag, which was designed by US gay activist Gilbert Baker in 1978. Inspired by the power of symbols like the US flag, Baker wanted a new symbol that represented the LGBTQIA+ community. We discuss the colors and meanings behind each stripe on the original flag and how it gained prominence as the symbol for LGBTQIA+ pride. We also mention other flags such as the Bisexual pride flag and Transgender pride flag. If you want to dive into the rich history and significance of the rainbow flag, and learn all about the sister flags that represent our diverse community, then hop on board this episode.

Send us a message CONTENT WARNING: This episode touches on the topic of suicide. Please listen with care, and remember to prioritise your well-being. Welcome to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," In today's episode we talk about the Lavender Scare, a dark and twisted story from the depths of American history. Have you ever heard of it? If not, you're in for a mind-blowing journey. Picture this: the 1950s, Washington, DC, and an underground power flowing through the halls of government. But we're not talking about superheroes here, we're talking about supervillains fueled by paranoia and fear of homosexuals infiltrating the government. This was the Lavender Scare. President Dwight D. Eisenhower even signed an executive order labeling homosexuals as a security risk. Can you believe it? Lives were shattered, careers were destroyed, all because of fear and discrimination. Join us as we delve into the stories of those affected and explore the parallels between the Lavender Scare and present-day injustices. Discrimination and hatred still persist, but through knowledge and progress, we can strive for a more inclusive and accepting future. So, join us now as we unlock the secrets of the Lavender Scare and shine a light on a dark chapter in queer history. Also if you want to be a part of our podcast outro, send us a voice note saying "Perfectly Queer" in your language. Together, let's create a world where being Queer is celebrated, not feared. Let's be Perfectly Queer! Topics Discussed: - Kamala Harris and the potential for LGBTQ+ progress - The Lavender Scare: history, key players, and impact - LGBTQ+ discrimination and parallels with the present day Entities Mentioned: - Kamala Harris - Senator Joseph McCarthy - Roy Cohn - David K Johnson - Eleanor Roosevelt Support the show You can help support our show on Patreon Below or the link above through Buzzsprout: https://www.patreon.com/letsbeperfectlyqueer…
