First publication of the year! It's an honour to be featured in the latest "Resilience" issue of BRICKS Magazine, where I speak about the trials and tribulations of asexual activism, and why resilience is necessary. 💜

I'm in Glamour Germany (!!!) speaking about the distinction between lust, libido and sexual arousal, my new German documentary and why asexuality doesn't need to be "cured." 💜

"This is what asexual looks like. It looks like me. It looks your cool ‘single’ aunt. It looks like your best guy friend who has never tried to hit on you. It looks like a Hijabi university student." Thank you all for the positive reception to my Playboy article! 💜🤍

SURPRISE! I'M IN PLAYBOY! Talking about asexuality! Because asexual people can dress however the hell they want! 🤘🏾

Check out my article on asexual misconceptions, why I don't care about the male gaze & toxic 'feminism'! ❤️

Warsaw memories! It was a pleasure raising awareness of asexuality in Poland a few months back. I love being able to visit places where these conversations happen less often. I have some exciting trips planned for 2025, so look out for those announcements!

"Aces deserve equality. Aces deserve protection. Aces deserve recognition. Aces deserve support. Aces deserve to be heard."

I wrote an blog for Stonewall about asexual discrimination in the UK and how my research is being used to influence legislation: www.stonewall.org.uk/news/progres...
