Anna's Got a Word Podcast

These Sunday snacks are going to be my big takeaway from the past week.

In this episode I talk about how grateful I am for my mom’s selflessness and love. I’ve written different variations of episode 4 like three times and haven’t published any of them, so I decided not to edit this episode and to get out my own Virgo way. My hope is that you’ll get something from it and it touches your spirit.

What’s good, good people. This is your girl Anna DeShawn, Founder/CEO of E3 Radio. E3 is your #1 stop for queer radio done right. I’m a Chicago born digital media artist & social entrepreneur who’s riding media into its next era by using online radio streams to take up space for Black+Brown Queer folks. This podcast is place for me to share my thoughts & dreams as a Black Queer woman in America. You’re tuned in to episode 5 of Anna’s Got A Word titled Pride is a Protest even in 2019.

I've decided to launch annadeshawn.com by sharing the story of my breast reduction surgery. I've titled it "Owning My Own Joy". This isn't something folks just go around talking about but I shared it for the first time at Sidetrack's OUTspoken and since then I've shared it two additional times and it's touched a lot of people. People have told me they can relate and its really hit home. So I figured why not launch my site being a little vulnerable, really honest, and really transparent. What you're going to hear is the actual audio from when I shared this story live at Fillet of Solo 2019 while representing Sidetrack's OUTspoken. It was an amazing experience to tell this story from memory and with all the emotions it brought. So, here's my story of the time I decided to have breast reduction surgery. If you enjoy it please leave a comment, share it, and visit annadeshawn.com often because #AnnasGotAWord. peace.​

On August 30th I took another trip around the sun. This podcast is a look back on my year of yes and my gratitude.
