I probably wouldn't have thought to myself, there's like a full other shot, like, of course, authors who are Lgbtq and like that. Uh, every year they have this big conference, um, and it just really, I think, helps bring um authors together with readers.
Ever thought about the intersection of LGBTQ+ literature and mental health? Jay Casale dives into this fascinating topic with Anita Kelly, the host of 'Lez Talk About Books, Baby!'. Anita's journey is one of resilience and advocacy, drawing from her own experiences as a counselor and a person in recovery. She’s on a mission to spotlight LGBTQ+ authors whose works often go unnoticed. Through her podcast, Anita creates a platform where younger generations can find representation and comfort in literature.
In this episode, Jay and Anita cover a lot of ground. They discuss the evolving models of addiction treatment and the importance of holistic approaches. Teletherapy's ups and downs come into focus, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Anita also shares insights on how the pandemic has uniquely impacted the LGBTQ+ community. But it’s not all heavy.
Jay and Anita also touch on the power of social media in promoting mental health awareness and the annual conference that brings together authors and readers to celebrate LGBTQ+ literature. Anita’s personal stories make this episode not just informative but deeply human. If you’re interested in mental health, addiction recovery, or simply want to discover new LGBTQ+ authors, this episode is a must-listen.
