Season 1: Episode 04 // Part 4: Movement (Featuring Mary Ann Thomas)
I don’t love packing or unpacking. But I love the in-between movement, the actual act of moving your body from one place to another. In this episode, which touches on my drive from LA to NYC, we find a celebration of motion, movement, moving, migration, and all that comes along with it.
In this episode we talk to writer, long-distance cyclist, and travel nurse, Mary Ann Thomas, a queer brown daughter of Indian immigrants, about home, home in migration, and home in movement.
