Today, we take you to New Orleans, Louisiana for a story told in our Open Book format.
Say hello to our second Open Book guest, Emily Madeira! Emily is a movement artist, a licensed master social worker, a dancer, and a clown. Her work and art challenge the societal norms oppressing the human body and its natural impulses to play, to touch, to move, and to feel. Emily identifies as queer and polyamorous and is passionate about building networks of community and mutual aid.
In the initial chapters of her Open Book, she shares her journey to polyamory from monogamy and the joy of decentering romantic love. She speaks to her evolving understanding of love and the beauty of the queer relationships this has brought her. This leads to a pondering on the impact of creativity, art, human connection, and the power of play. The life of Emily is a refreshing, honest reminder to give yourself permission to trust and enjoy yourself.
