What does it mean to parent, create, and build community outside of traditional boxes?

In this episode of The Layers of Us, Amanda sits down with Alex Ott — a queer San Diego native, solo mom, and founder of Chrome City Creative Studio and The Blank Table, an underground supper club rooted in creativity and connection.

Alex opens up about her journey of embracing queer identity, navigating the realities of motherhood, and redefining what family looks like through chosen family and inclusive structures. This candid conversation dives into creativity, resilience, and the freedom that comes with rewriting the rules of parenthood and community.
