Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha is a queer, disabled, Sri Lankan-Canadian author, poet, and community organiser whose work explores disability justice, queer and trans communities of colour, and the radical possibilities of collective care.

Piepzna-Samarasinha's audiobooks offer listeners transformative, deeply felt writing about disability, community, and the revolutionary potential of caring for one another.
