"...there's a period of self discovery and understanding [when you're a teenager], you know, who you are, what your body is like, and also emotional connections with another person...people like me and that generation, we didn't get that at all."
Teenage years are a distant memory now. It is no coincidence that it's Valentine's Day. 💘 We're all in love with Chad. You will be too, guaranteed.
🎉 #werkbookpodcast Season 1 Episode 3 has dropped wherever you get your podcasts!
Chad is a Queer American, who is a language teacher living in France for forever.
Warning: there may be a little spicy language, but only until we reclaim it for ourselves.
We talk about growing up in the 80s in our small hometowns, how we found what Queer representation was around us, our feelings on bullying, and much more!
