An interview with Precious Brady-Davis GREGG SHAPIRO | Contributing WriterGreggShapiro@aol.com Memoirs are more popular than ever these days, especially those written by LGBTQ people.
Lauren Hough’s Leaving Isn’t The Hardest Thing got things rolling earlier this year, and Precious Brady-Davis’ I Have Always Been Me (Little A/Topple Books, 2021) continues the trend.
These books also share the common thread of being about queer people who escaped the devastating clutches of religious fanaticism in their childhoods.
Nebraska native and Chicago resident Brady-Davis tells her story of fractured family dynamics, being bounced around in the foster care system, bullying and a strict religious upbringing.
