Hi, I’m Mia. I’m a queer, nonbinary, Jewish writer based in my hometown of Los Angeles. I found consent through Intimacy Coordination and fell in love with it so much that I decided to dedicate my life to making it as widely available as possible. I come to this work with the lens of decades of chronic illness which deeply informs how I think about consent, the mind-gut connection, and what it means to feel your boundaries in the language of the body. And I love a good run-on sentence.

Free content on Substack will be what you already see on my Instagram.

Being a paid subscriber supports getting anti-carceral consent education as far and wide as possible. I’m offering a sliding scale to make this as accessible as I can. The full price subscription is $9. If you’d like to follow along but need a lower price, use these: 25% off, 50% off

I hope you’ll consider becoming a paid subscriber to keep this work going and to help spread the word. I think our models in the media for relationships are largely horrible, and then we do a terrible job of (not) teaching media literacy, consent, sex education, and communication. On top of that we then punish people for mimicking what they see on television and in movies or what they had modeled for them by family and authority figures in their lives. I love my work and I deeply believe it’s important and I know it’s changing the world for the better when I see the ripples of my students teaching consent all around the world (literally: Japan, India, Belgium, France, Argentina…) But I need your help to keep the ball moving. If you’d like to request to expense this newsletter, use this template.

I’m a writer, artist, consent educator, and Intimacy Coordinator for TV, Film, + Theater.
