Show Notes

In this episode, Ashlyn sits down with poet, comedian, and inspiring public speaker, Alok Vaid-Menon. Ashlyn and Alok jump straight into a complex discussion about what it’s like to exist as a queer person in the present cultural and political climate. From Alok’s experience growing up queer in Texas, to finding heaven in queer spaces, to performing their work in places not considered queer friendly, the conversation leads the two to discover that queer people aren’t actually the “different” ones, despite what society may tell us.
