20. Junauda Petrus Nasah on Rewilding Spirituality with Play + Joy
Junauda Petrus-Nasah is a creative activist, writer, playwright, and multi-dimensional performance artist whose work centers around Black wildness, -futurism, ancestral healing, sweetness, spectacle and shimmer.
Her first book, the young adult novel, The Stars and The Blackness Between Them, received the 2020 Coretta Scott King Honor Book Award.
In this conversation Junauda shares her wisdom on:
- Exploring her queerness + Caribbean lineages in her art, spirt + life.
- The power of sexuality + Blackness in her work.
- Incorporating play, joy + silliness in her spirituality.
- How being an activist + organizer inform her art + life.
- How she recovered from a 'nervous breakdown' around her queerness + being an artist.
- Finding a sustainable way to do healing work + practice self-care in Minneapolis, post George Floyd's murder.
