About Sheena 

Sheena comes from a media background and in 2014 she started The Lesbian Review, a website dedicated to reviewing the best lesbian books and movies. In 2016 A podcast channel seemed like a natural progression and so she started The Lesbian Talkshow.  Sheena discovered lesbian fiction in her late teens and it helped her with her coming out process, something for which she will always be grateful.
