Queer Open Mic is honored and excited to welcome Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha  to our humble stage. (looky looky - see there she is in all of her fabulousness!!!)

The author of Consensual Genocide (TSAR), she has performed her work widely throughout North America, including performances at Yale University, Oberlin College, University of Southern California, Swarthmore College, Poets Against Rape, Femme 2006,  The Loft, louderARTS, and the immigrant rights rallies and benefits for queer youth centers down your block. Obsessed with documenting queer/trans of color, mixed-race, Sri Lankan, high femme and survivor stories, her work has been anthologized in Homelands: Women's Journeys Across Race, Time and Place, We Don't Need Another Wave, Colonize This!, With a Rough Tongue: Femmes write porn, Without a Net, Dangerous Families, Geeks, Misfits and Outlaws,  Brazen Femme, Femme, and A Girl's Guide to Taking Over the World, as well as in Colorlines and Bitch magazines

In addition to the awesome of Leah - there is the fabulous of you! So come on down to QOM. Make a new friend or five. Share your words with the world and let's build some revolution through art people.

Mollena and I will be there with metaphorical hosting bells on (and her improv rant should be back!)- so please say howdy.
