Mama Alto

Every week Word for Word explores the stories, experiences, and perspectives of extraordinary LGBTQIA+ individuals. From artists to advocates, quiet heroes to loud trailblazers, we’re shining a light on the lives and lessons of those who are making a difference in our community. 

Join host Jason Heath each week as he delves into the triumphs, struggles, and achievements of our guests, and discover the beauty of their authentic selves. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired – because on Word for Word, every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard. 

This week’s guest – Mama Alto

With a career spanning over two decades, Mama Alto has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, collaborated with legendary artists, and been recognised with numerous awards and fellowships.

As a proud trans woman of colour living with disability, Mama Alto is a powerful advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and has worked tirelessly to promote social justice and amplify marginalized voices.

Join us as we chat with Mama Alto about her remarkable journey, her creative process, and her inspiring commitment to using her platform for positive change.
