Christy DeGallerie is a writer and interdisciplinary artist from New York.
Her contribution to the Modern Love column in the New York Times took my breath away a year ago, in which she wrote about her decision to come out to her mother on the day of her deportation. It's a moving, funny, sharp dissertation on migration, queerness, and gardening, and I insist you give it a read.
Christy is also an enormous music fan, and made this interview exceptionally easy by showing up with some fabulous selections and stories. We discuss music by the Organ, Santigold, and Azealia Banks.
Sign up to Christy's Substack, Really Bad Taste, follow her on Instagram and read more about her charity of choice, the Pauli Murray Center.
