Summary

[This episode originally aired February 2023.] Growing up, Marsha knew who she was and it wasn’t who she looked like on the outside. Some bullied her for being different but she stood up for herself and others in the LGBTQ+ community creating safe spaces for all to be loved as they are. This podcast is a production of Rebel Girls. It’s based on the book series Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. This story was produced by Olivia Riçhard with sound design and mixing by Mumble Media. It was written by Olivia Riçhard and Alexis Stratton. Fact-checking by Joe Rhatigan with sensitivity read by Schuyler Swenson. Narration by Anjali Kunapaneni. Original theme music was composed and performed by Elettra Bargiacchi. Thank you to the whole Rebel Girls team who make this podcast possible. Stay rebel!
