12: Fabian Romero - a podcast by Nia King

Fabian Romero is a queer Chicano poet, performance artist and community organizer. In this interview, Fabian opens up about how getting sick, losing weight, and gaining thin privilege have affected their career. Be sure to listen all the way to the end for a sneak preview of their forthcoming pieces about call-out culture and anti-black racism in communities of color. Highlights include:

- why internet fame is a double-edged sword,

- how the words of civil rights leaders get appropriated inappropriately,

- and why "allyship" is an act, not an identity.
