Destiny talks about navigating censorship and what happens when writers and editors don’t see eye to eye, and about the intersections of religion and queerness, the representation of queer sex and sex work in literature, and how she follows instinct when approaching her work.

@DeeshaPhilyaw @markarms @ursastory @dawniewalton Deesha— I haven’t at all forgotten how something sparked you to not only take time and read my little story, but that you enjoyed it enough to bring it to Dawnie and Mark for Ursa Story to produce…an enormous honor I’ll never forget. This is such a joy-filled life highlight! 🙏🏽
