Pride Connection for June 30, 2020 Presents: Councilwoman Rosemary Ketchum, Wheeling, WV


You won’t want to miss this candid and compelling conversation with Rosemary Ketchum, the first trans woman to become an elected official. Rosemary is the Councilwoman for Ward 3 in the city of Wheeling, WV.

Rosemary opened up her life to us. From growing up in Ohio; realizing she had to transition; the role of her family during her transition process; her thoughts on inclusive language and pronouns; and how she feels now that she is a successful woman. We also talk politics; her decision to run for a Council Seat; the issues she cares for; and her work ethics.

Rosemary has been a community organizer in the state of West Virginia for a long time. Some of the issues she tackles from her Council Seat include homelessness and poverty. As a Mental Health professional, she focuses on insuring availability of mental health resources in her community.

Please join us in this historic interview, as we close our special Pride Month programing. Tonight Tuesday, June 30 at 10:00 PM on ACB Radio Mainstream.

You can also listen to Pride Connection’s replay tomorrow Wednesday at 10:00 AM. We will not have our Sunday replays this week as ACB Radio will be focused on Convention; but we will surely replay this interview in the near future.
