Audio Bio: Mira Theroux
[Starts with pop-punk music – electric guitar and drum set, slowly fades out] MIRA: Hey, I’m Mira. I use she/her pronouns – as opposed to he/him, they/them, or whatever else one may prefer.

The higher my face off the ground (CARTOON FALLING), the more air I could fall through to fall on…

We need labels to describe the world around us, it’s how we communicate. We look at…
