Creating Activists in your Audience with Terra Lopez

This week we are focusing on performance artists who are building platforms and using them to advocate for equity and change. First up is Terra Lopez, front woman of Rituals of Mine and co-founder of label Bitchwave Studios. She has been very effective at building an audience that cares about the issues she advocates for and leveraging it to create conversations, advocacy agendas and activism to create a more just and equitable world for queer people, poc and women/trans people. Please take a listen and learn how we can use our platforms more effectively.
