Hi! Thank you for taking an interest in this episode’s discussion on queer dis-identification. Our names are Shanelle, Lesley, Alejandra, and Caitlin. Our different backgrounds and majors give us various lenses on the process of understanding our identities. We analyze how authors and artists challenge labels, such as mixed-race, disabled, and Afro-Latina lesbian,  to critically think about identity definers, assimilation, counter identification, as well as invisibility. Our conversation is just one step toward identifying with and embodying our truths.

*We do not claim anything as our own in regards to the works from the mentioned authors, artists, celebrities, and televised media.*
