Music has always been an important part of ONIKHO’s life, in the way it is for many of us. Growing up, she played classical music, and her mom forced her to practice. Later she found Jazz and fell in love with the art of creating something unique with her sound, but it still was a hobby rather than a career path. It wasn’t until she was in a car accent at 26 that things changed. We talk about that experience and how dance, music, and art generally changed her life at a time when she was struggling to see any future. We also talk about how the good things in life don’t make the difficulties less difficult, but at the same time, those hard things don’t make the points of light any dimmer.

Dyslexia is often seen as simply something that makes it difficult for children to learn to read. Natalie Brooks explains that it’s so much more than that.

Sometimes we need a promised happily ever after. Sanjana Basker talks about the value of joy, feminism, and sexual empowerment in romance books. Romance books are about love, community, and connection, some things often undervalued in society today.
