  • Résumé

  • Welcome to Verde's Folding Chair! A podcast about making space at the table for Black, womxn, indpendent writers, queer folk, and marginalized people. Verde's Folding Chair is about making space for our voices, existence and lived experiences. Zora Neale Hurston said, "If you're silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." This podcast is the opposite of silent. Come on and bring your folding chairs and pull up at the table! I promise to make space for you, Rainbow Peeps & Friends!

    Today is #givingtuesday and I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone and asking for your support in giving to this Black queer indie author!


    Being small (but mighty) and independent has many rewards. Being able to write the stories that are often missing from major publishing houses is one of them. Your support will help me continue to do just that.
