Feature Friday: Anna DeShawn

Highlighting Our People in Podcasting!

For the month of February, we are doing Friday Features! Whew…talk about alliteration!

“Find your people, Network across platforms, and Research all of the podcast organizations out here and find the ones that match the type of community that will help you reach your goals.”

Those are three major tips from our first feature✨Thee Anna DeShawn✨ who by the way is Ambie Nominated for her dope podcast Queer News! So, what’s Queer News?   Queer News is an intersectional approach to a daily news podcast where race & sexuality meet politics, entertainment, and culture. Tune-in to reporting that centers & celebrates all of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & comrade communities. Anna DeShawn is also about uplifting all of us, you can see that with her founding of The Qube platform, and her new podcast Black HIV in the South: How Did We Get Here which premieres on Tuesday, February 7th on Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.❤️

When asked why is there a need for podcasts like yours? She had this to say:

“There isn’t enough creative work in the world centering people who live at the intersections of race and sexuality. My goal is to create more of that work and it do it in a way that fills a need, has measurable outcomes, and fosters the intended impact. We must tell our stories or our stories will be lost.”

We must indeed!

And for Anna DeShawn it seems she’s tapped into her winning season!

Oh and a little about me…this is the hard part, talking about myself!

I’m Adell Coleman Chief Operations Officer of DCP Entertainment. I’m a multi-award winning podcast creator, producer, and host. I host and EP the podcast Say Their Name. I like talking so you may have seen me around at a few conferences!

One of my favorite things to do is to amplify and uplift those BIPOC and marginalized creatives who aren’t just hosts but are doing many different things in the podcast space.

At DCP, we distribute podcasts that share stories, podcasts, interviews, and insights by and for underrepresented voices. Feel free to check us out!
