Since language around gender/sexuality/identity is limited, nuanced, and ever evolving, some of the terms used here may become outdated. Please know our intention in this space is to be inclusive and validating of all marginalized identities. KITTENS is committed to learning the most appropriate terminology along with her guests, but just incase anyone gets it wrong...we apologize in advance and promise to do our best to stay on top if it. xo

    I love how she said that "I have always just identified on the queer spectrum and never really set a boundary for myself as to what that is," because people always make labels seem like a necessity, and I admire how she just allows herself to be who she is

    Aw I love this. I didn't know Donna was queer but I love her song Girl and I always have interpreted it as a gay song even though I think it is actually about girls being pit against each other.

    Thank you for being! I wish I had outlets of expression such as yours to understand myself. I'm 53. The labels were limited when I came out. Much love and light!

    How do you start a podcast, like how did you know what ur aim was and the structure of each podcast. It's alway been a dream of mine but I don't know how to choose something specific to focus on and whether a purpose is important? :)
