Push or Pivot Podcast

In honor of Pride Month, here’s a throwback to episode 71 about Marsha P. Johnson🌈 As a black, poor, gay, non gender conforming person, Marsha certainly knew what it was like to be marginalized. Despite Marsha's own physical and mental health issues, she spent most of her life helping others.

Johnson? 🖤 Her impact in the Gay community and the Gay Liberation movement 🖤 How she helped others feel comfortable about themselves and their sexual identity 🖤 Why she did not back down when standing up for basic human rights.
