This week, I've had the pleasure to sit down with my friend, Jessica Hariprasad (She/her), an incredible visual artist, teacher, reader, and lover of the arts, to discuss our times spent with a really special book. Sit with us as we dive into our experiences reading "Into The light" by Mark Oshiro (This is NOT a spoiler free experience!), and reflect on the central theme of queerness and identity throughout this beautifully told story, and what it means to the both of us as individuals. 

Mark Oshiro (they/them) is an award winning Atlanta based author who's creations include a span of heart-touching books like: "Anger is A Gift," "Each of Us A Desert," "The Sun and the Star: A Nico Di Angelo Adventure," and more.
