✨Trigger Warning✨ 

We discuss themes of sexual assault in this episode. While it is not graphic we want to give everyone the opportunity to take care of themselves during and after this listen. Feel free to jump ahead if you need. 🖤

This week’s episode is all about Maya June Mansour’s new book, Light Brown Butterfly, releasing this week, August 29th!!! 

Qurissy and Maya delve into the themes of reflection, identity, healing, self-discovery, and the creative process behind her new book. While exploring the relationship between the body and soul we also discuss the crucial role intuition plays in Maya’s life and work.. But this episode isn’t heavy -  the significance of play and joy in art is highlighted throughout.
