Do Everything with Brittany Bowe

About this episode

Ashlyn Harris interviews Brittany Bowe about her engagement, visibility in the queer community, and her unique path in sports.

Visibility is important, especially when it comes to the queer community. There were great examples of this at the Winter Olympics, most virally when hockey player Hillary Knight proposed to speed skater Brittany Bowe. Today, Ashlyn sits down with Brittany to talk about that moment and what posting engagement pictures meant as an act of queer joy. Plus they talk about Brittany’s unconventional path to an unique sport, what’s next for her in retirement, and why that involves hypnotherapy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
