QUSIC: Leila Neverland

Raised by a Persian Zoroastrian villager, a family of Jewish immigrants, and a drag queen uncle, artist and mother Leila Neverland (she/her/hers) knows a few things about diversity, inclusivity, and unconditional love. She weaves an ambiance of true togetherness at every live performance and offers timely reflections of all that is life, death, and the decolonization of our collective consciousnesses. Neverland’s emotive energetic authenticity inspires pure joy, empowered rage, and healthful tears as she leaves audiences breathless and full. Her exquisite voice joins the ranks of those who inspire her like Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Bjork, Lady Gaga, and Amy Winehouse. She is currently working on a few singles, a couple music videos, and an album in beautiful BC, where she resides with her two children and her cat, Georgie.

QueeReads: Lesbian Spooky Short Stories

QueeReads gets spooky with this collection of three lesbian short stories written by S.Derkins – just in time for Halloween! Collection includes “As the Crow Flies”, “Just a Nibble’, and “Swamp Tales” read by Jill Karpick.
Join the live stream at Unicorns.LIVE or join in-person at Friends of Dorothy Lounge at no charge.
Author Bio
S. Derkins is more known for her lesbian romances and sci-fi but she enjoys anything that captures the imagination of her Muse. She has little control of how a story is created. The Muse pokes her so she puts her fingers (both middle fingers, I’m a properly trained hunt and peck typist) on the keyboard and the story unfolds as the characters choose.
QueeReads is sponsored by Leigh Jarrett.
