Demi and Ace 3: Show Your Work

A funny and moving audio series about how weird love is.

What does romance look like through the eyes of an aromantic person? Demi & Ace is an insightful series of six audio stories about the weird way people tend to act around each other.

Demi and Ace, two best friends, are demi and asexual. Together, they try to make sense of the peculiar ways the modern-day relationships work. Why does the world seem so overly influenced by the hunger for romance? In these sharp, fresh stories the author Laura Eklund Nhaga shows how huge a role romance and love play in the world even in the 21st century. Her writing is funny and thought-provoking and it offers a fresh angle to the tradition of romcoms and other modern stories about relationships. In the third story of the audio series, we hear a few words from Ace about the way people try to define her. Could they please either show their work – or simply shut up?

Laura Eklund Nhaga is an activist, a spoken word artist, a writer and an actor. She’s also the Finnish translator of poet Amanda Gorman.
