Rhyannon Styles (she/her) - Berlin
When my dear friends lay it all out there like Rhyannon does in her writing, it really hits me hard. Make sure to get @rhyannon_styles newest book HELP! I'm Addicted: A Trans Girls Self-Discovery and Recovery it's out everywhere!
We first met in London during my burning out years on the never ending tattooing world tour (in a queer AA meeting in the Crypt of an old church) because I drummed up the courage to say hello. She might have even been able to convince me to qualify at that first meeting as I was fresh foreign meat (this opportunity actually introduced me indirectly to other dear friends would also move over to Berlin consecutively).
What we shared back then was much more than I could be aware of (though I felt the gravity to her and her story big time). Before relocating to Berlin she was already committing her focus to writing her memoirs (she just released the second iteration of what I hope will be more than just the thrillogy). Since then she has gotten a degree in performance in Berlin and has been offering gong healing sessions (even continuing this practice via zoom while in lock down).
Berlin is lucky to have her here (and when you get her time, you feel it's special).
