In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Renay Barker-Mulholland. We talked about poetry, parenting, how intersectionality relates to quilts, what does being an artist mean, and gatekeeping. It was an honour to be the first person to read Renay one of her very own poems, and hear her reaction. We also chatted about the juxtaposition between femininity and roughness, politics, collaborations with our kids, and more.
