In this episode, I sit with Writer, Development Analyst and Fur Baby Mama, Karen'Nicole Mitchell (she/her).
We discuss her flawless submission to a previous mailbag episode, the evolution of our cookie palates, coming out in different spaces and communities, entering chapters of our lives where we begin to explore who we are outwardly, the challenges of discovering identity while growing up in a large family, gratitude for queer elders who fought before us and bunny limelight stealing!
