- TV & Film
With filmmaker Ian Mantgani and poet Labeja Kodua Okullu by my side, I drink way too much mezcal and become infatuated by Alan Johnson's Solarbabies.

Going deeper than any other trio has ever dared, we are now officially the world's foremost Solarbabies scholars (Scholarbabies), and will be publishing our first book on the subject as soon as funding is secured.
