The second season of Call Me Mother places a new emphasis on connecting with a younger generation of LGBTQ+ community members — providing listeners the language needed to grapple with unfamiliar experiences, demonstrating that they belong to a much broader history.
The upcoming season will feature voices and histories from across the globe, including Donna Persona of San Francisco’s Compton’s Cafeteria; the UK’s Lisa Power, founder of Stonewall and decades-long activist; Zsa Zsa Fisher, a South African Trans rights worker and former Miss Gay SA; founder of Nigeria’s House of Rainbow, Jide Macaulay, and many more.
In shining a light on stories that might otherwise be overlooked, Faye is “not only highlighting the tireless work and valuable life experiences of previous generations,” says Bustle on the impact of season one, but “providing younger listeners with an oral queer history they’d struggle to find anywhere else.” Read the full feature over at Bustle here.
With further season one praise from AnOther Mag, GQ, The Guardian, and more, season two of Call Me Mother will undoubtedly continue to do “a great service to the stories which were habitually excluded from the ones we tell about the 20th century” (Esquire).
