(Originally aired April 22, 2020) A special episode commissioned from the enquiring minds of Abadesi and Michael of the wildly popular UK podcast, Techish.

“Arlan was extremely honest about what was going on in her personal and real life, and how all of those things impacted the decisions she made.”
I commissioned this podcast episode to give a preview of my new book It’s About Damn Time. Abadesi and Michael discuss all things tech, pop culture, and life every week on Techish. In this episode, they talk about how they saw their own experiences in my stories, and how the book inspires them to leverage their underrepresented identities.
