About Mx. Asher (they/them)
Mx. Asher (they/them) is a Rhode Island based spoken word artist and memoirist known for vulnerable storytelling exploring themes of community, current events, love, and power.

Asher’s work has been published in Writers Resist, Discretionary Love, new words press - citizen trans* {project}: voices in trump america, and Unlikely Stories. They have performed at events such as PRONK!, Trans Day of Visibility, Warren Folks Fest, and more.
