This is one of my favorite conversations recently. I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to talk with Avgi Saketopoulou and Kassandra Sparks.
Avgi is a psychoanalyst and author of "Sexuality Beyond Consent:Risk, Race, and Traumatophilia" and co-author of "Gender Without Identity."
Kassandra Sparks is an artist, community educator, and whipsmart anthropologist.

After following her work for decades, I'm looking forward to seeing Patty Chang's work at The Met for Monstrous Beauty.

Picture
A guest at recent event asked what books are informing my work at this time and I was too tired to list the names--it was past my bedtime as a 5am morning bird.
Here are a few in the photo and my audible list has been:

Love in a F*cked up World, by Dean Spade
The Queer Art of Failure, by Jack Halberstam
Female Masculinity, by Jack Halberstam
Mindful Parenting for ADHD, by Mark Bertin MD and Ari Tucker
Like Love, by Maggie Nelson

For recreational, escapism reading this winter, I've been enjoying the worlds of Lauren Groff and T. Kingfisher.
