This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback.

And I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Query.

Hey, Gros Camille here.

Wow, you know what?

I mean, this is a funny request that happened to me.

Brandy Carlyle and I spoke, and it was like such an amazing episode, and I loved Brandy.

And I didn't have her book at the time.

And so then she was like, yo, if I send you my book, can we talk again?

And so her book is called Broken Horses.

It's very good.

And like a day, like it just, I just like, sped through it, feeling seen the entire time

and feeling like this is beautiful.

And I can't wait to talk to this person again.

So we had another conversation.

And man, Brandy is just like so honest, so open.

And she told me she wants to be friends with me.

So I mean, I almost freaked out.

You, where do you hear me, giggle?
