Today on the podcast we are sharing a powerful conversation Katy recently had with iconographer Kelly Latimore.

In our bonus Substack episode, Kelly and Katy discuss the ways he attempts to uplift marginalized communities as a white male without appropriating them. We’ll also share some specific pieces of art from the main episode that Kelly references if you’d like to check those out.
