Pardon My Mind with Rachel & Hiiro
We're constantly getting to know our minds. And when we have guests, we get to know them behind their public image, so that you can get to know them beyond their Social Media presence. Mental health awareness and inclusivity across the human spectrum (especially with the LGBTQ+ community) is near and dear to us. We find the beauty in vulnerability. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel (@PardonMyMind) to continue supporting us, as these episodes can be WATCHED as well!

Pardon My Mind with Rachel & Hiiro
Episode 67 with Kira Leigh - Writer of LGBTQ+ Stories, Forever-Artist, Sometimes-Freelancer
We welcome artist and author Kira Leigh (they/them) to the podcast to share their new LGBTQ+ sci-fi trilogy, Constelis Voss! The series opens on a dystopic planet-sized ship in the far future, where a very advanced android receives a personality file from the 90s. He is the only one of his kind. This is fiction that exists to analyze politics of power (and act as a crash course in media literacy/crit).
Kira talks about key subject matters that are relevant to the current and future generations, especially regarding non-binary and non-conforming humans that courageously blur the lines of tradition and status quo. They explain about their growing up and history with artistic expression, which evolved into anime and illustration, plus written content.
Kira says they make art like breathing and plays way too many video games (which we have a chat about as well)! Be sure to support Kira in their endeavour to make the world more inclusive and non-conforming.
