Creating Space to Promote Change Through Music with Father Venus
How do we learn gender roles? They are taught to us by society, our families, our teachers, our peers, our bosses, etc. They tell us who we are supposed to be and how we should behave. But we get to decide who we are and who we will become. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, my guest Father Venus shares how his gender journey sparked his artistic journey and how he incorporates the two.
