In this episode, I continue my conversation with Boston-based educator, author and activist Neema Avashia. We talk about rites of passage (including why she did a surprise wedding!), her activism, and about what led her to write her book, <a href='https://wvupressonline.com/node/903'>Another Appalachia: Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place</a>, forthcoming from West Virginia University Press on March 1, 2022. You can learn more about Neema and check out some of her writing at her website, <a href='https://www.neemaavashia.com/'>www.neemaavashia.com</a>, and you can find her on Twitter at <a href='https://twitter.com/avashianeema'>@AvashiaNeema</a>.
