This interview with Tea and the Open Book family is illuminating! Learn about Tea’s poetry, writing and art – and the glory of their fusion to challenge ableist perceptions.
“How I Bend Into More is dedicated to my younger self, and this might sound silly to some, but it was important to me to acknowledge the self I used to be who struggled so much with who she was, how her body looked, and the ableism that defined her self-worth. I’m constantly in conversation with the different selves that live in me in many of my projects and conceptualizing them as other people has helped me grieve, regulate, create healthy boundaries, forgive, grow, and find myself, my voice.”
