The Shining Audiobook Spotify

[Tisha]

Inthis episode, Maysoon opens up about working on her audiobook with Dave Matthews (!!), the challenges of marketing a children's book during a global crisis, the complexities of representation, and why she believes ugly kids deserve to live too (not just the cuties!). With equal parts humor and fierceness, she reminds us that, especially in the darkest times, we need laughter, glitter eyeshadow, and a shoulder to lean on.

So grab your favorite cat (magical or otherwise), settle in, and prepare to be inspired by the shining force that is Maysoon Zayid. This episode is guaranteed to leave you laughing, thinking, and ready to unleash your own inner misfit on the world.
