Maya Angelou, Part 2: Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Sep 20, 2018

Show notes

Oscar Wilde once quipped that "every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future." In this episode of ILL REPUTE! Sovereign and Siouxsie sit down with guest co-hosts Mistress X and Sparkle to talk about Maya Angelou, the smudging of her sex worker past, black womanhood, and the narratives that shape us as women. What makes a hero, and icon, the voice of generation, a saint, a legend? What do these stories tell us about ourselves.

Empress Theodora began a prostitute in a brothel in the Eastern Roman Empire, but when she began performing on the stage, she quickly caught the eye of the Emperor, and he made her his co-regent. She ruled so well she was made into a saint after she died. Talk about a glow up!
