Quear's Podcast

Hey Friends, and welcome back to a brand new episode here on Quear. This week I have the opportunity to sit down with Zi, also known as Donnya Piggot. Zi has an extensive career in activism, starting one of the original LGBTQ+ organizations in Barbados. In this episode, we talk about how Zi was quite religious growing up and the moment they left the church, their work in activism and the struggles that come with it, their LGBTQ+ travel company pink coconuts and Zi identifying as non-binary, and what that journey was like for them. There is a lot to learn in this episode.
