Mall Culture & Nurturing Self Expression with Plant Kween

About this episode

Sam Reece chats with Plant Kween about their upbringing, self-expression, and the beauty of gardening.

This week Sam Reece welcomes author, educator, and content creator Plant Kween to chat about growing up as a curious, nerdy (triple valedictorian!!!) and playful tween in an incredibly close knit family in Philadelphia. The duo discuss Plant Kween’s drama-less coming out story, the intricacies of navigating different community spaces, their emo-girl phase and learning the beauty of gardening from their grandmother.
