Episode 21: Ari Monts

In this week's episode, Tuck speaks with writer and Ph.D. student Ari LaRae Monts (they/them), whose research focuses on queer women of color and non-binary people of color. Topics include:

• Grappling with family trauma by writing a love letter to butch queers.
• Using federal dollars to study queer SM communities of color.
• Rethinking "femme" as an identity beyond an aesthetic.
• Practicing Christianity as a queer and trans person.
• Exploring nonbinary identity at A-Camp.
