George M Johnson on Queer Identity, Fashion, and Fighting Book Bans

Описание: In Dinner for Shoes episode 46, George M Johnson on Flamboyants, Fashion + Identity, host Sarah Wasilak chats with the New York Times bestselling author about their new book Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I’d Known. They also discuss George’s memoir-manifesto All Boys Aren’t Blue, which has been banned under federal law and has empowered George to fight for the freedom to read in court. George shares the ways in which they’re continuously inspired by fashion and how they use clothing to portray their style and identity to the outside world. Sarah also tries George’s favorite food, crab cakes, as part of a new approach to involving special guests and their go-to meal in her episodes.
