Permission for Pleasure with Junauda Petrus-Nasah & Kadie Henderson

Join me for a Cancerian conversation with two of my favorite magical thinkers – Junauda Petrus-Nasah and Kadie Henderson – where we talk about music, sensuality, violence, the erotic, the speculative, and all things Cancerian. Junauda Petrus-Nasah is a writer, a soul sweetener, runaway witch, and performance artist of Black-Caribbean descent, born and working on unceded Dakota land in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her work centers around pleasure, wildness, queerness, Black-diasporic-futurism, ancestral healing, sweetness and liberation. Her first YA novel, The Stars and The Blackness Between Them received a Coretta Scott King Honor Award. She is the co-founder with Erin Sharkey of Free Black Dirt a Black, experimental healing art collective.  She is a Jerome 2021-2022 Artist Fellow in Literature.
