  • Not Your Sidekick
    Mari and MD sit down to talk with CB Lee, author of the Sidekick Squad series, about writing, stereotypes, and why queer characters will no longer stay on the sidelines.
    CB Lee is a Lambda Literary Award nominated writer of young adult science fiction and fantasy. Her works include the Sidekick Squad series (Duet Books), Ben 10 (Boom!) and All Out (Harper Teen). CB loves to write about queer teens, magic, superheroes, and the power of friendship. When not nationally touring as an educator, writer and activist, CB lives in Los Angeles, where she can neither confirm nor deny being a superhero. You can learn more about her and her adventures as a bisexual disaster at http://cb-lee.com.

  • Queer Storylines in Therapy: Bi+ @ ClexaCon feat. Nicole Pacent
    A live recording of Mari and MD at ClexaCon 2019 in Las Vegas! This is our panel on "Queer Storylines in Therapy: Constructing Your Narrative Through Fictional Characters" featuring Nicole Pacent!
    Media representation of the queer community has steadily been improving over the recent years – and queer clients in therapy find themselves gravitating toward their narratives in hopes of finding a good example to live by. In this panel, psychologists and media enthusiasts will explain how relating to a well-represented queer character can help develop positive outcomes in therapy, and add to the creation of a well-grounded minority identity.
