MAP Forum

So a little while back, I did an interview with Dylan and Talia who are also MAPs. They just posted the interview to YouTube. It's also on FreeSpeechTube and The Mirror Project.

You've likely read her blog, or maybe you've heard about her MAP merch shop. Chances are, you know of Katie Cruz as a popular figure in the MAP community. Here we discuss coming to terms with identity, MAP activism, Katie's personal experiences, and much much more!

Give it a listen and share with other parts of the community.

I had no time to listen to the podcast, so I just want to express my gratitude.

I'm glad that a lot of new podcasts have started appearing in the community, this is very important.

Thanks for sharing the links Katie! I will hear the interview tomorrow during my commute.

I listened to this interview and I think it's great. It's very refreshing to see people doing activism in a meaningful way, talking about our issues and making as much of a difference as possible. I think the more of us who do this, the better things will become for us overall. I would be willing to be on such interviews and podcasts to help disspell the stigmas and lies about us being monsters.

Great interview! How do I get signed up to be interviewed? I want to be interviewed as well

We need more such interviews with MAPs.
Your QR codes are super awesome.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I passed on your message to the people who interviewed me.

Thankyou very much! Cant wait!

I have to admit the way your interview was done... at the start it seemed as if Katie you yourself were the host.
Either the microphone quality of Dylan and Talia wasn't on par with that of yours or they seemed to be using a phone mic.

I want to do audio interviews with other MAPs like how Dylan and Talia are doing. I want to do it in my region in local language.
And then upload it online.
How safe is doing that in terms of my own safety and the safety of my guests?
Beside the obvious things what other things should we be careful about?

Anyone with experience in MAP activism can answer my questions.
Just for your reference, I'm from the Indian subcontinent.
