The Many Lives of Dina Nina: A Journey of Faith, Courage, Resilience, and Joy
(Part 1 of 2) Oh my gosh, what can we say about Dina Nina? This was an incredible conversation, so jam-packed we made it a two-part episode, with the fabulous Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford, whose bio includes Performer, Speaker, Politician, Queer Clergy, and “a little woo woo.” We cover a wide range of topics from her conservative upbringing to her journey to finding herself to entering ministry: jumping into politics: being the FIRST transgender woman elected to office in Madison, WI: her passion for comedy and performing; her faith and spirituality; mystical experiences and past lives; healing trauma, and so much more. There is so much joy and feeling in these episodes, we are moved and blessed to have Dina Nina as a guest, and to call her a friend!
In addition to her life as a speaker, comedian, counselor, minister, and civic leader, Dina Nina also leads Light of Love Fellowship, an inclusive and affirming faith community, an organization which aims “to encourage connection with the divine, provide a safe space for those who have faced adversity within faith communities, and promote love as our guiding principle.”
