    In this episode we sit down to talk with Tenika Watson, author of the memoir "My Life Is No Accident." Tenika has been part of the LGBTQ scene in Philadelphia since the 1970s, and was cast in infamy when she caught a ride with singer Teddy Pendergrass one fateful night in 1982. Outed, deadnamed, shamed, and blamed for the accident, Tenika has only recently been able to reclaim the narrative of who she is and the true value of the life she's lived.

    In the third episode of Queer Atlas we finish up our interview with Nicole and Nicole of South Street Art Mart, discussing the oat milk debacle that went down in April of 2021. We also talk about how individual artists negotiate the rules and algorithms of those corporations that own the platforms necessary for their continued existence. In the final segment, Leeb and Katharine discuss Assata Shakur's biography, “Assata,” on her activism and escape from the United states, and the new queer fantasy “The Jasmine Throne” from Tasha Suri.
