39 - Translating Back to White Feat. Leona Neelam Maple

In today's episode, we had a very special Guest Ma’am, Leona Neelam Maple, join us.

You might have seen her on Twitch or run across her in the TTRPG space.

Leona is a Sensitivity Reader, Cultural Consultant and highly experienced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Specialist.

That’s right, folks, this is a Q&A episode! To put it lightly, the Ma’ams come across some…uh questionable things in the books we read. We talk a lot about representation, own voice, and stereotypes, but it seemed time to bring in an expert.

In honor of our expert, we drank Leona’s Signature Lavender Gimlet.

We'll post drink details and other tidbits in our Discord, Patreon, and on our socials. So check there to find anything you may be interested in.

Enjoy the episode? Have any burning questions for the Ma'ams? Comment to let us know!
