Number 25! Force-of-nature author, artist & LGBTQIA+ activist Fleur Pierets has joined your host Dominique in the loft. Hear Fleur unwind the tale from her early life on the move to crucial lessons and insights and falling in love head over heels. She recounts how she co-founded Et Alors? queer arts magazine with no experience except for what Google had on offer - eventually capturing 750,000 readers over 20 celebrated issues - and talks about how she took on a globally reported performance piece in 2017 with her wife Julian, by planning to get married in the 22 countries where same-sex marriage was legal. Her poignant, compelling book ‘Julian’ later tells Fleur’s story of losing everything when Julian passed away early into the art project. She opens up about navigating life since then, embracing her fluid state of mind and making plans again. Fleur also shares how harassing hatemail fuelled her commitment to helping LGBTQIA+ teens living in shelters worldwide & she gives the download on how she got cheeky with Boy George, the story behind ‘Dead Ladies Show’, working on a new book & the just-announced film adaptation of ‘Julian’ as well as the children’s book deal she landed while staring at a work of art at MoMa. Tune into this essential, truly honest heart-to-heart.
