Bodies of Change: From Global Equity to Queer Horror

Peterson Toscano is guest-host today, and he's leading across a vast tapestry of people & subjects, starting with issues surrounding Period Poverty & Menstrual Cups. This and more is discussed as Peterson talks to 4 remarkable women: Christine Garde Denning is founder of Could You?, a global nonprofit providing menstrual cups, malaria prevention tools, and practical pathways out of extreme poverty, Mary Maker, who is the force behind Could You?'s community work across Africa, Fran Stoffer, who is Chair of the Northwest CT Community Foundation Women & Girls Fund, and Mona Norfleet, who is a community advocate, YMCA leader, equity organizer, and member of local anti-racist initiatives. Peterson will also have the former Poet Laureate of Mississippi, Catherine Pierce, share her celebrated poem, Anthropocene Pastoral. And finally he'll be visiting with Queer author Ryan La Sala, sharing from the queer horror story, The Dead of Summer.
