Maddie and Marty live in Milwaukee, WI having met at an event a few years ago and reconnecting back in 2019.<\/p>\n
They decided to speak openly about their experience because: \u201cBetween us, we have so many labels\u2026 gay, female, white, BIPOC, interracial couple, mental health warrior, immigrant and while we know they don\u2019t fully define us, we\u2019ve been trying to understand what it meant for us to exist within today\u2019s political climate, and we wanted others to know that they\u2019re not alone in trying to come to terms with what\u2019s happening in the world. We figured, maybe we\u2019d have something to say that would help. Regardless, it\u2019s helped us to begin to process what we\u2019re feeling living in today\u2019s America\u2026 complete with our concerns, confusions and hope for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tAbout this episode\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t
With the USA Election only one day away, I am honoured to be sharing this very raw conversation I had with two incredible women, Maddie Ace & Martina Westmoreland, a gay couple living in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
Maddie, an Immigrant from England, and Martina, a Black Women born and raised in the USA, met five years ago, but their relationship has really blossomed over the past year since they decided to quarantine together during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
In this episode, Maddie & Martina share intimate details of their lives together and their perspectives on how critical this election is for securing basic human rights and equality for all Americans.<\/p>\n
I urge you to tune in to today’s episode for an important perspective on being a minority in a country divided.<\/p>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe talk about: \n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t- What it’s like to be\u00a0 Black in the USA<\/li>
- How unsafe people of colour, immigrants and gay people feel in the current state of polarization<\/li>
- Maddie & Martina’s hopes about fears about the future of the country<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\n\t\t
