础蝉蝉茅迟辞耻&苍产蝉辫;齿补苍驳辞 (Ah-say-too SEAN-go; they/them), also known as the Dark Goddess Poet, uses Spoken Word to dismantle the harmful colonial binaries that bind us. As a black, pansexual, polyamorous, genderqueer, womxn. They exist as the in-between, the darkness that serves as the mirror to our shadow selves. Xango鈥檚 other-world guides us to accept the parts of ourselves that have been deemed irredeemable.
