Description

Hailing from Celina Tennessee, Trae Crowder is a standup comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed “Liberal Redneck.” Trae gained national attention (or notoriety, depending on your viewpoint) with his viral video rants and has been performing and touring his particular brand of Southern-fried intellectual comedy for over a decade.Trae addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” through his socially aware comedic view, sharing thoughts including:That there’s inexorable positive progress in social issues over time, despite setbacks in the short-term.That each new generation makes advancements in social awareness; for today’s young people, “the default position seems to be one of wokeness.”That in spite of stereotypes, “in any given state, 40 something percent of people voted blue, but the state still shows up red on a map.”That when considering issues such as racism, the wider USA needs to avoid “using the South as a scapegoat, and in doing so, act like they don't have those problems where they live.” That we could all use more empathy to understand others’ perspectives and experiences in our day-to-day lives.ResourceswellRED podcastConnect with Trae CrowderWebsite // Facebook // Twitter // YouTubeFollow WCPGRFacebook // Twitter // InstagramJoin our Patreon Community by  April 13 to receive an invitation to Backstage with Vicki : A What Could Possibly Go Right?
