What's up love doves! This chat features friend of the show and inimitable renaissance woman Munira Mona Morsy. Mona is a writer, poet, artist, and fight coach. We chat about a variety of topics including: artistic expression as an essential means of cultivating a healthy and dynamic culture, the intersection between comics and poetry, honoring migrants and migrant rights, and we even shift gears and discuss some nuts and bolts about self-defense and self-defense mindset, emphasizing the importance of ladies knowing how to physically defend themselves. Learning martial arts techniques not only builds confidence and neuroplasticity, it also equals things out if you consider yourself petite and are intimidated by larger humans. Remember ladies: dudes have one major vulnerability between their legs, it's really just waiting there to be kicked if need be. We even dip a toe into post-election stuff, and I feel it's always healthy and important to talk about difficult and polarizing issues in a respectful and productive way. We need to listen to one another more, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing head space!

Check out Mona's innovative poetry comics on Instagram @thelighthousemonocle. You can order zines directly from her. They are awesome.

You can also find Mona's work on Substack @: Musings of a Young Contrarian.
Finally, her memoir, titled The Sky That Stole a Thousand Midnights, will be coming out next year, so stay tuned for that as well!

One love,
