Hello again! We talked to Jax Meyer, quoting their twitter profile which sums it up perfectly, "40 yrs old #demiace #butchmom #lesfic #writeLGBTQ #autistic Spiritual, Progressive, Jedi, Musician, Marine. she/they".
We had such an amazing conversation. From being in the Marines during Don't ask, Don't tell, to being diagnosed later in life with Autistic to their own gender discoveries, Jax had nothing but remarkable experiences to talk about.
We also talked about their books which are rich with their #ownvoice experience and filling the void of the representation they wanted to see in the world.

Hello again! This time we spoke with Kayla, Web Designer, T-shirt creative, and core member of TGIF/F, which is a multi-fandom femslash convention designed to build connections, encourage discussion, and celebrate the media and characters we love.
We talked about TGIfemslash, what it means to them, how it facilitated such a strong sense of community, it's purpose, and how it all began.
Kayla also shared with us their journey to discovering their identities, and how much TGIF/F has become a safespace for some many others on the same road. Go check them out!

Hello again everyone! This time we talked to Hillary Esquina, creator and writer of the webseries Passage! It was a HIT at the clexacon web premiere event and soon the whole season is up for everyone to view.
Passage is about Agent Ali Prader, a top paranormal operative for the government. They rely on her special capabilities to handle the situations which can arise from interacting with paranormal entities. As a veteran and a mom, Ali is able to balance her professional and personal life – that is until she starts to unravel a thread that opens the door to a new crucial shift in power.
Oooooooo, we're excited for it. We talked about her process, the hustle, fun details about her characters and the actress that play them, and what inspired it all. We also talked about her family life, balancing creativity and her son, and her answer to the guest2guest question was *chef's kiss*

While the show is still in it's crowdfunding stage after talking to these funny and passionate ladies I couldn't be more excited.
