Scottie Jeanette Madden - Storyteller Extraordinaire
Happy July - which means we are in a post-Roe world right now. I don't know where to begin with about the decision and what it is going to mean for the future of women in this country. I'm saddened, disgusted and pissed!!! Having said all that I am now going to switch gears and switch this into a positive note. And talk about the highlight of my week. And the highlight of that awful week was my discussion with my next guest, Scottie Jeanette Madden. And usually I speak with people that are directly connected to the bar and restaurant industry, bartenders servers, front of the house, back of the house, all those peeps.
But this episode, I'm doing something a little different because Scottie Jeanette is a television writer, director and produce. She directed the documentary, Proud In A Pandemic, which is about the pandemic and how it affected some of the queer bars and queer community of downtown LA. Now, having said that Scottie Jeanette worked in bars as a bar back back in the day. So I felt that that gave her a lot of street cred in the bar industry world. She's also on the board of directors of DTLA proud.
What I appreciated so much about Scottie Jeanette is that she is just so honest about her journey professionally and personally, which showcases her strength and intelligence throughout the interview and beyond the interview as well.
