7:05 Interview: Iris Muscarella on solo and egalitarian polyamory

Iris Muscarella, business owner, burlesque performer and jazz singer, host of Dallas-area poly women's sleepovers and new poly educator, shares thoughts on solo and egalitarian polyamory.

Solo egalitarian poly is the love language of the individual. "I don't wanna be your whole world; I just wanna be a part of your world."

How Iris defines solo and egalitarian; relationship anarchy; how solo poly differs from "just dating"; how do you show the importance of your relationship(s) in the absence of typical relationship escalator benchmarks; what do solo poly people need to have in their toolkits; how can people be better allies to people of color in the poly community—listen to hear, not to respond
