Hi everybody.

Hey y'all.

Welcome to Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole.

We are a weekly podcast where we talk to queer folks from all walks of life.

They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends, family, and the world at large.

Because who doesn't love a coming out story? We are here today with Kia Brown, who I have

followed on Twitter for such a long time. We've never met personally. Oh, no, stop. No, I'm

such a fan of you on Twitter. I'm sure a lot of you out there follow Kia.

You have created the hashtag disabled and cute. And yeah, I just, I wanted to have you on for quite a while.

You are, you're in New York. Is that correct? Yes, the state, not the city.

The state, yes, yes. But yes, so now that everyone is a remote guest, we thought, what a good

time to have Kia on. But yeah, please say a little something about yourself. Yeah, I mean, well, I,

Twitter is wild. I write primarily, I mean, well, I, um, Twitter is wild. I, uh, I write primarily. I mean,

a bunch of stuff from essays to articles to hopefully one day sold movies and, uh, TV shows.

I'm a pop culture fanatic, so I love anything that has to do with entertainment and

like fashion. And so I'm like a big melting pot amalgamation of pop culture knowledge and other

nonsensical things that don't really help you, but if you need to know them, I got you.

Oh, I disagree. They help me very much. As a fellow pop culture addict, I feel you.

Also, for our listeners who are familiar with Les Hang Out, which I'm sure is pretty much all of you,

Kia has a fantastic, should have been gay episode. Is Cadet Kelly? Is that the name of the movie? Yes, the American

classic. Oh, fantastic. I've never seen it, but I listen to the episode anyway, and I now feel

like I am in the know, but it's such, it's a delightful, it's a delightful episode.
