Josie Pickens is a Houston, TX based organizer, author, educator, and culture critic…

whose many works focus on race, gender, and sexuality. She has been regularly published in Ebony, Essence, Bitch, The Root, Cassius, Mic, Madame Noireand more. Josie's goal, always, is to curate expansive conversations about love that include self-love, familial and platonic love, romantic love and community love.
