If Yuh Neva Know

In this episode, I talk about the brilliant book written by Jack Halberstam, "The Queer Art of Failure". Join me as I talk about what failure means, and how it allows us more freedom than we may know. I enjoyed this book immensely when I read it for a sociology class this semester, and I encourage everyone to read it as well. It's insightful, funny, entertaining, and mind-boggling all at the same time. I had so many revelations while reading this book, I felt compelled to record this podcast episode! I hope you enjoy it.
