Description

We are back!!! Season 4 is here and I am so excited to share more incredible and inspiring Cypriot stories! 

TW: this episode discusses sexual assualt which some listeners may find difficult.
For the first episode of season 4, I welcome back Dean Atta to discuss his new memoir, Person Unlimited. Both candid and courageous, Person Unlimited explores Dean's life across the many roles he's played: from choirboy to drag act, grandson to mentor, poet to lover. It looks at what he has carried in his body – wins and losses, shame and pride, pain and joy – and investigates how radical self-acceptance and a willingness to abide with discomfort open up the possibility of a life lived beyond definition: a person unlimited. Person Unlimited is out July 4th.
