At the young age of nine Jose Rios’s mother sat him down and gave him an extremely detailed talk about the birds and the bees. Today, Jose is a communication expert, sexual health educator, and body positivity activist spreading the message that fat people are having sex and skinny people need to get over it. Having moved from Phoenix, Arizona a year ago, Jose managed to get caught in an "accidental" sex part on his first night in New York City and there hasn't been a dull moment since.
Alex Koones grew up working in New York kitchens and went on to Chef in some of the fancier ones such as The Breslin and Jean Georges. After years in professional kitchens, Alex left to put her experience towards building queer spaces. She is currently the founder and host of Babetown, a pop up supper club for queer women, trans and non binary people where she cooks up great food for a couple dozen queer babes every month.
Teshale Nuer is a NYC-Based writer, performer, educator and over-Activist specializing in Holistic Coaching and Embodied Storytelling. Teshale's work focuses cultivating joy, healing trauma, centering the self.
