We talk about her art and graphic design, being in an queer abusive relationship (and the contrast of that with her relationship with her wife now), and dealing with an eating disorder. Nicole LaRue was born in Berkeley, California. After earning her BFA from Brigham Young University, her own adventures took her across the world from South Korea to Japan, to the Oregon coast and places even farther. She currently lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah. Both a graphic designer and illustrator, LaRue is widely known for her iconic work on the Women's March on Washington logo. She is the author, designer and illustrator of a number of books including Girl Almighty and Small & Mighty, interactive activist journals for kids.

    Let's Talk About Sex, Baby!

    In this episode we talk about sex. There is a content warning for sexual assault. We cover the taboo topics that you might be too afraid to ask, and also really dig into the ways patriarchy has completely boxed out any and all ways that celebrate women's and AFAB folk's sexual experiences. We ask, "What even is sex?" and "What is lesbian sex?" We cover toys and masturbation. We also focus on healthy sexuality and consent. There's a lot here! Strap in and join us for a wild ride.

    Kaneesha Wardle (she/they)

    In this episode, we interview Kaneesha Wardle. We talk about her not really wanting children, realizing she was queer when she was pregnant, then going through extreme postpartum depression. Kaneesha also discusses what it's like having a child diagnosed with cancer, finding moments of joy even during really hard things, and some ideas on how to deal with shame. Kaneesha Wardle recently permed her hair because it was the straightest thing about her. It's also somehow helped her tap into her inner child more, which she's really enjoyed. She may still be trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life professionally, but in her free time, she enjoys cuddles, puzzles, playing games, and coloring.
