For the 43rd episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra welcome standup comedian, cartoonist & @sex_is_weird creator Katy Fishell, who makes deeply personal cartoons about sex & body image.
She shares how academia can stifle creativity, how a boring day job was a blessing in disguise, what inspired her to make comics out of radical honesty, how overcoming a fear of social media allowed her to share her art & find an eager audience, the unexpected ways she's connected with followers, why Instagram’s policies are harmful to artists & why it's not that hard to use your platform for good. We also deconstruct the myth that one can be "too old" to pursue their dreams, perpetuated by our youth-obsessed society & unpack the complexity of sharing your own grooming experience.
