Monday Motivation: Chopping It Up With Anna DeShawn

This week's Monday Motivation is Jay chatting with the entrepreneur Anna DeShawn. Anna is the founder of E3 Radio and, more recently, the Qube podcast app. E3 radio describes itself as "Queer Radio Done Right". The Qube is a podcast app specifically for shows "created by BIPOC and QTPOC" people. Jay and Anna talk about the necessity of intentionality and why it's so important to preserve stories of those who came before us.

Anna specifically asked that anyone of color or part of the LGBTQ community who has a shown reach out to pitch their show for The Qube!
