In our seventh episode, we talk with Marx Cassity, a Two-Spirit Indigiqueer artist of Osage/Kaw heritage whose music is a fusion of electronic rock and Native nuances. Their newest work, 2Sacred, is their fourth musical album and releases next month on November 5th. During our conversation, Cassity discusses the inspiration and motivation for 2Sacred: decolonizing harmful narratives of Two-Spirit and queer peoples, and helping us remember that all human cultures have long histories of gender diversity. We talk about Cassity’s work as a therapist for queer youth, and the role that Nonviolent Communication played in supporting their profound shift in consciousness away from self-hatred and towards self-compassion. Not to be missed, Cassity sings us their most recently released single, How Long, a beautiful and haunting song about queer resilience and radical belonging.
