The Intersection of Blackness & Queerness with Teddy Tinson

Welcome to No Need to Ask Podcast. My name is Amani Duncan and I will be your host on this journey. On episode 3, I had the pleasure of interviewing Teddy Tinson to discuss the topic of "The Intersection of Blackness & Queerness".

Tinson is a contributing reporter at the New York Times and a creative consultant for Academy award winning Director Steven Soderbergh. Previously, Tinson worked as a Fashion Assistant with the late designer Oscar de la Renta, then Vogue Magazine assistant to Mr. Andre Leon Talley, followed by contributing roles at Andy Warhol's Interview and Hello Mr. magazines. One of Tinson's favorite articles is one he penned for the New York Times entitled "Breaking the TV Mold".

Teddy recommended the following books as suggested reading:

• "Thick" by Tressie McMillian Cottom

• "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo

• "How to Be an Antiracist" by Ibram Kendi

This episode is one of my favorites. I learned so much from Teddy and I hope you do as well!
