The Next Round: What happens after you change your drinking?
The Next Round: What happens after you change your drinking?
Lazarus Letcher is a musician, writer and academic whose creativity draws on their experiences living as a Black, queer, trans, sober person in America.
This conversation with guest podcast host Yasmin Spark explores Laz’s experience of getting sober and connecting with their ancestral history. And they discuss the power of music-making without alcohol, from viola players having the best seat in the orchestra to the founding influence of black queer people on dance music.
Lazarus Nance Letcher (they/them) is a Ph.D. candidate in American Studies at the University of New Mexico and a musician. Laz has written for Autostraddle, them, and QED. Laz’s work focuses on transphobia’s roots in white supremacy, Black and Indigenous collaborations for liberation, and queer diasporas.

“By the end of my drinking career, I really had no community. So what drove me was a desire for reconnection and a desire to get my actions in line with my spirit”
