Fabian Romero is a queer Chicano poet, performance artist and community organizer. In this interview, Fabian opens up about how getting sick, losing weight, and gaining thin privilege have affected their career. Be sure to listen all the way to the end for a sneak preview of their forthcoming pieces about call-out culture and anti-black racism in communities of color. Highlights include:
  • why internet fame is a double-edged sword,
  • how the words of civil rights leaders get appropriated inappropriately,
  • and why "allyship" is an act, not an identity.

When I heard about Fabian Romero and his losing fame, I felt sad. He was there at the top enjoying all things that he could possibly enjoy but he became abusive. All his money and fame have been turned to nothing and I couldn't be more sad about that. What happen to him should be a lesson to our artists that life may be good now, but you can also go own in an instant! Always be grateful and look at where you are right now.
