Amelia Abraham

My guest this week is Amelia Abraham, journalist, TED speaker and author of Queer Intentions: A (personal) Journey Through LGBTQ+ culture. I’ve known Amelia for years, and she is one of the most interesting and original thinkers I’ve encountered. Queer Intentions is totally fascinating - she travelled all over the world researching it, from the world's biggest drag convention in L.A, to the nightclubs of Istanbul. Here we talk about how it all started with an ill-fated attempt to move to Iceland for love, how her attitude towards marriage changed while researching it, and why having LGBTQ+ spaces matters. But the Queer Intentions here: https://tinyurl.com/y3v5x9eb Twitter: @aliceazania @MillyAbraham Instagram: @aliceazania @amelia_abraham Edited by Chelsey Moore

Om Podcasten

The Sunday Salon is a podcast celebrating brilliant books and the women who write them, hosted by journalist Alice-Azania Jarvis. Each week she chats to an inspiring female author about her work, her career, how she writes, what she reads and everything in between. This is not some academic textual analysis – it’s about finding the stories behind the stories. Tune in each Sunday to hear from guests including Isabel Allende, Jessie Burton, Holly Bourne, Diana Evans, Elizabeth Day, Nimco Ali and Sophie Kinsella. Edited by Chelsey Moore.
