January 29, 2025 Queer Voices Author/Activist Christy Claxton and Actor Candice D'Meza
Manage episode 464045669 series 2792587
Can understanding human motivations truly transform corporate culture? Join us as we sit with the insightful Christy Claxton, a lesbian musician and writer, who reveals the soul-sucking realities of corporate life and how she managed to maintain her creative spirit amidst it all. Christy shares her journey from being a middle manager for over 30 years to rediscovering her passion for writing after being laid off. Her new book, "Bringing Jesus and Other Lies," offers a candid look at her life experiences, and she shares invaluable lessons on leadership and creativity that challenge the status quo.
In another turn of the episode, we delve into the transformative power of education and storytelling. Inspired by past encounters with influential teachers, we explore narratives that challenge societal perceptions and reflect on the intersection of corporate careers and artistic pursuits. Our discussion includes touching anecdotes from a collection of stories about unlikely friendships, such as a young offender taking his former teacher on a motorcycle adventure. We also ponder the broader implications of personal stories and their resonance with audiences, drawing from experiences that have shaped our creative paths over the years.
Artistic innovation takes center stage as we spotlight Candice D'Meza, a multidisciplinary artist who blends Afrofuturism with unique theatrical productions. From exploring themes of queer futures to challenging identity constructs, Candice's work pushes boundaries and invites audiences to imagine a world where nature and humanity coexist harmoniously. Her latest production, "Miss LaRaj's House of Dystopian Futures," and her other projects highlight the liberating aspects of defying societal norms. We celebrate how artists like Candice and musicians like Lee Harris inspire us to break free creatively and redefine our future narratives.
