Award-winning author and performer Ivan Coyote has spent decades on the road, telling stories to audiences. From these experiences came letters — lots of them. For years, Ivan held onto those special communications, and when the pandemic cancelled tours worldwide, they had the opportunity to actually answer them. Their latest book, Care Of: Letters, Connections, and Cures, is a love letter to human connection. Listen in to hear Ivan’s poignant thoughts on the reciprocal nature of mentorship, the importance of having many trans narratives, the fallacy of vulnerability, and what it means to be a community leader.
