Mia interviews jo + bahar on Kink, BDSM, and Creativity

bahar (they/them) is an Iranian, queer, trans, non-binary Intimacy Coordinator + bike mechanic based in NYC. Their background in theater and acting often explored themes of gender and sexuality, paving the way to their role as a Sex Educator & Consultant. They are passionate about biking, karaoke, and tinned fish. bahar is on IG @baharloo.intimacy [https://www.instagram.com/baharloo.intimacy] and jo Valdés is always doing the most, to say the least. They’re a queer, nonbinary, Afrolatinx writer, sexpert, intimacy coordinator, cultural worker, foodie, barista and sometimes DJ. They have an absolute obsession with kink, BDSM, leather, etcetera. They’ve recently been published in Condé Nast’s Them and Our Time Press. Right now, they are working on a pilot about the queer underground in NYC as well as a nerdy book about kink and neuroplasticity. jo is currently based in Flatbush, Brooklyn. They were born and bred in the Boogie Down Bronx so they rep the Yankees really hard even though they don’t know shit about baseball. They can be found at letstalkaboutsexbaby.com [https://letstalkaboutsexbaby.com] and on IG @tell_you_what.
