Hey for the bald community. It's Ayanna here. I am currently sitting in this windy bay watching the seagulls fly over the herring run that's just

arriving and I thought this is the right moment to check in with y'all. It has been a while.

Gosh, so much has been moving in my life personally and I have grown up and refined what I want to share with you all. As much as I have

loved the classic digital episodes over the past decade, I've had a real yearning to be in person

with the flesh of the land and eye to eye with the guests. So as you probably noticed,

we have not been releasing weekly episodes.

Instead, we have been on the road spending deep time with some of our favorite people,

having intimate, edgy, raw, funny, just beautiful and challenging conversations.

Although we wanted to keep the secret a little longer, we will be releasing our first season

of our new walking series with beloved Sophie Strand.

We have also been in the works of creating a printed anthology, and Sophie is one of the

authors of that along with 20 others and art and design and

combination of 10 years of conversations. This book is weird. It's the study of oddness.

It's not meant to be easy or prescriptive. It's meant to get dirty. It's meant to be used

in the archive of this time. And we're planning on

printing it this year as well. But in order for us to birth these new creations into life, we need you.

We're looking for funding, partners, and sponsorships. And we are considering either self-publishing

the book or working with the

publisher. We're also hoping to go on tour and would love to be hosted from the west coast,

the east coast of this continent and across the pond in Europe. If you're an individual or a foundation

or an aligned company who want to sponsor the show with Sophie, hit me up.
