I’m back from my podcasting hiatus and so excited to share this episode with autistic artist & poet Morgan Harper Nichols. We talk about creativity and its intersection with neurodivergence. It was such a great chat I completely forgot we were podcasting because Morgan was such a joy to talk to. Join us as we geek out about the things we love and our shared experiences.

Scroll down for the show notes and links to everything we mention in today’s episode.
