Coping with the End of the World with Melissa Denizard
Manage episode 372356733 series 3371200
For today's episode, I am joined by Melissa "Melly" Denizard, a Brooklyn-based cultural worker and musician. Melly and I discuss her party protest movement Dirty Girl, speaking at colleges and universities across the country, the odd paradox of working in the music industry while also being a cultural worker, cleansing herself from social media, and why you can't separate a movement from an individual.
