A Lil Straightening w/ Ace in Grace | Episode 314

This week, we're joined by therapist, educator, and Ace in Grace founder Ashabi for a conversation about asexuality, Black ace identity, and belonging in queer spaces. We explore their journey creating the new asexuality pride flag, the conversation and controversy that followed, what people still get wrong about the ace spectrum, and how they're expanding our understanding of intimacy and community.Follow Ashabi on IG: @ _aceingrace_Substack: @aceingraceShoutouts:Kris: Cue the Record: High-fidelity listening sessions & experiencespreserving music history & culture based in NY (for now).
