Core Issues with Corey Andrew

Isis King is a trailblazer, having appeared as an openly transgender contestant on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. In a recent interview for Instinct Magazine, I spoke with the LGBTQ advocate and actress about her remarkable success, including her breakthrough role in the critically acclaimed, When They See Us and her most recent role as 'Alexis' in the HBOMax docu-series, 'Equal,' which aired this past October, depicting dramatizations of true LGBTQ stories.

In a super-fun interview for Instinct Magazine, I spoke with Darius Jeremy Pierce (DJ), AKA Shangela, one of the most successful contestants ever on RuPaul's Drag Race. Shangela went from underdog — to Drag Race fan favorite, then onto co-star with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in 2018's Oscar-nominated, A Star is born. We chatted about her newest project, the HBOMax reality series, 'We're Here.' Now in season 2, the show features Drag Race alum Eureka, Bob the Drag queen, and Shangela traveling across America, changing lives – one drag queen at a time.

'Betty' is an American teen comedy television series created by Crystal Moselle. The show is based on Moselle's 2018 film, Skate Kitchen, and depicts the efforts of a-group-of -Gen Z-girls attempting to stand out in New York City's predominantly-male world of skateboarding. Betty, the series made its debut this past May and has been renewed for a second season. In this episode of Core Issues, I speak with Moselle about her inspiration for creating the series.

Misterb&b, like many great start-up concepts, was born out of necessity. Founder and entrepreneur Matthieu Jost sat down with me for an interview and revealed the upsetting homophobic incident that spurred the idea for his company.

In a nutshell, a few years back, Jost and his partner applied as guests at a short-term rental in Barcelona during a trip to Spain. However, they were quickly turned down after the owner realized they were gay.

They found new lodging in the Catalan capital, but the experience was still painful and disappointing. It got him thinking about what he could do to ensure LGBTQ travelers could find welcoming accommodations all around the world despite their sexual orientation.
The ordeal led him to carve out a long-overdue category in the travel industry with his brand emerging as one of the top travel resources for the LGBTQ community.
