Amberadical Season 2

You may have first seen them on Showtime's Polyamory: Married & Dating in 2012, but what the show didn't show views was their work in activism, writing, and big plans to change the world.  10+ years later, and Vanessa has a charcuterie board of work to show and resources to offer the queer and sex work communities.  Join the convo to hear them talk about their Death Doula business, their two completed books, and their self defense classes they offer geared towards LGBTQ folk and sex workers.  My goal with this interview was to let you get to know Vanessa along side me, so you feel inspired to seek out their many resources they've worked hard to offer a variety of communities.
