What if you were raised by a village of strong Black women at time when folks wore Free Huey and Free Angela t-shirts in a place that was known world-wide for it’s activism?

Bridgid Coulter Cheadle, grew up in Oakland and moved to Los Angeles where she pursued her first love, acting, before going back to school in order to pursue her second love, design.

So what would you do if you if as an adult, your design business was flourishing, you were a Tony-award-winning producer, and you were married to an Avenger. But when you walked into a workspace looking for faces like the ones in that village you grew up with, you found that you were the only one in the room? Would you move back to a place where you knew you belonged? Or would you create a gathering space for women of color and allies alike?

Some people think that polyamory is like waving a magic wand and saying, “now you can have sex with whoever you want repercussion free.”

Writer, speaker, coach, and negotiation expert, Lelia Gowland and her husband Cole have happily been in a stable, healthy, polyamorous marriage for eight years

But what would you do if your identity as poly and as a queer person was something that some folks knew but most folks did not? Would you decide to leave things as they were and tell yourself that you were living “beyond categories?” Or would you write about it in your weekly newsletter and invite people in to see who you really are?

Imagine that you are a pornstar, not just an adult film actress, but a bonafide, award-winning, most-downloaded, hall of fame-inductee, porn STAR.

Critically acclaimed Latina performer and pioneering BBW porn star, Sofia Rose has stacks of would-be suitors, but found herself wondering what they could offer her, that she couldn’t give herself.

So what would do if you discovered that traditional dating just wasn’t for you anymore? Would you decide that you’d be better off on your own? Or would you create a line-up, where guys could jockey for the MVP position, and let the best man win?
