Zendaya needs to watch Pure (w/Natalie J. Harris) I Episode 113
Show Notes

 This week we welcome queer filmmaker Natalie J. Harris to discuss her short film, Pure. Pure explores coming-of-age experiences through the pressures of a debutante ball (when your crush is a woman), showcases Black joy, and reimagines liberation for marginalized communities. We discuss the creation of the film, boarding school, Black queer friends and how Black queer media representation is lacking. 

Shoutouts:
Shana:
Laverne Cox for becoming the first trans woman to have a Barbie Tribute Doll in honor of Pride Month. It’s also a tribute to her 50th Birthday this weekend! Laverne talked about how she was denied a Barbie doll growing up, so this is full circle. Follow @lavernecox

Kris:
Open Path Collective: Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is a nonprofit nationwide network of mental health professionals dedicated to providing in-office and online mental health care—at a steeply reduced rate—to clients in need.

Natalie: Documentary called The Principles of Pleasure. They are providing comprehensive sex education that includes queer and trans people, all body types and more. Another shoutout to Ericka Hart as a person who is helping to change how we view sex education and makes it more inclusive.
