PrideCast
Born during the pandemic to create a space for LGBTQIA+ folks in Seattle to gather, the PrideCast continues even as we get back to in-person events. PrideFest is an arts and cultural non-profit that does advocacy and our PrideCast guests and content reflect that. Hosted by Seattle PrideFest Executive Director Egan Orion.

Egan Orion
It's Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month and today on the PrideCast, and your hosts Egan Orion and Aleksa Manila feature three key API community leaders in this week's episode. UTOPIA Seattle's Executive Director, Taffy Maene-Johnson, talks about how her non-profit has adapted services for Pacific Islanders of all stripes during the COVID pandemic. We meet Victor Loo, a Seattle based, queer, androgynous and genderless model from Singapore who is the Director of Practice Innovation at Asian Counseling and Referral Service. Finally, we speak with Dutchess Drew, Sri-Lankan-born drag queen who talks to us about drag on Zoom, Rice and Curry, and plans for the upcoming PrideAsia Fest.
