There’s a certain kind of story we only tell in the dark.

The kind that lingers. The kind we’ve carried in silence. The kind that needs soft lighting, no interruptions, and someone who won’t flinch.

Welcome to Cocoon After Dark—I’mQuincy Tessaverne, and this is a space for truth-telling that’s tender, textured, and unapologetically queer.

Each week, we sit with voices—mostly Black, brown, LGBTQ+—who’ve lived through things that don’t always fit into polite conversation.

We talk identity, pleasure, boundaries, grief, reinvention, and the moments that changed everything.

This isn’t small talk. It’s soul talk.

So take what you need. Leave what you don’t. And listen with your whole body.
