“They can tell me what bathroom to use ... but they can’t take away who I am.”
—OLIVIA HILL
Kelli and Sue celebrate Pride Month with our special guest, Olivia Hill, Nashville Metro At-Large Council Member, and the first elected transgender lawmaker in Tennessee history!
Olivia’s transition journey belies the scare-tactic claim that kids can go to school one sex and come back the other—and other falsehoods about the transgender community.
After serving 10 distinguished years in the Navy, including combat in Desert Storm, Olivia spent nearly 30 years operating the Vanderbilt University Power Plant. In 2019 she chose to live her truth and transitioned. Since then Olivia has become a fearless nationally recognized voice for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and justice for all marginalized communities.
In 2023, Olivia shattered history, becoming the first trans woman ever elected to public office in the deep-red state of Tennessee.
Olivia Hill’s story isn’t just about resilience — it’s about defiance, courage, and the relentless pursuit of a world where everyone has the right to live authentically, lead boldly, and rise without fear.
Olivia’s interview capped off a full weekend of Drag Brunch Fun, Wrestling Mania, and fresh roadkill ... so grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us for this Special Pride Episode of Front Porch AF! Find out more at TheOliviaHill.com

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
