What would it mean to consider the radical potential of love, empathy, and pleasure— as an antidote to oppression and disconnection? 

Mimi Zhu doesn't want to romanticise love. Their debut title "Be Not Afraid of Love" is devoted to answering this, sharing in a way that is intimate and heart-tugging. Our conversation with them maps the pain and violence that can stop us from knowing how to enact and receive love, intimacy, queer kinship, and how loving action can be a tool for social change. 

Mimi references some works of radical Black feminist and First Nations thinkers including bell hooks and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
