Writing can feel like the most solitary thing in the world, but there’s more community built into it than you’d think 📖

These are the only photos I have on my phone of my Mom, and/or my sister and I! There are other photos stored somewhere on an external hardrive 💾
But it sounds like an up to date, current Mother/Child photoshoot is in order 📷!
Anyways, Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing incredible Mom @alma_caliz who has been there for me supporting, loving and encouraging me all through my 36 (almost 37) years of life.
Love you forever 💗💗💗💗

This week has been rough but reminiscing about the time my Mother in Law came to visit us a few weekends ago is helping. We had a great time winding through the Venice Canals, strolling down the Venice Beach Boardwalk, hitting up Santa Monica Pier and then, feasting at Din Tai Fung 🛶🏝️🎡🥟

Voice actor and audiobook narrator @avi_roque Avi Roque joins Tawny Platis @tawnyplatis to craft penguin-and-pizza-themed friendship bracelets while deep diving into mental health, gender identity, and the surreal magic of booking The Owl House.
While building a beautifully chaotic “bird collection” bracelet, Avi opens up about:
- Receiving a BPD diagnosis and how DBT group therapy changed everything
- Growing up queer in San Francisco and still feeling completely alone
- Landing their first animated role as Raine Whispers after a “submit and forget” audition
- Breaking into audiobooks with Cemetery Boys and narrating 60+ titles since
- Hormone therapy, hot flashes, and finding their authentic voice
- The impact of playing a beloved non-binary character on a Disney series
From navigating the inconsistencies of the entertainment industry to rediscovering gender identity in their twenties, Avi brings honesty, warmth, and a reminder that queer and trans stories deserve joy and not just trauma.
Plus: rapid-fire questions reveal cartoon crushes, WWE entrance songs, Housewives binges, and whether 12-year-old Avi would think they’re cool today.
Every bracelet made during this episode is available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to Outright International. #voiceactor #voiceacting #podcast #theowlhouse
