Meet Our Hosts

A woman with curly hair resting her chin on her hand, smiling thoughtfully. She has a visible tattoo on her arm and is in a cozy indoor setting.

Ashley Michele

Ashley Michele is your neighborhood queer little witch. She likes snark, stuffies and dark, fantastical things. She also enjoys writing about mixed latina plus sized babies such as herself getting to live out their best lives with queer and kinky loving.

She has a BA from Florida State University that she still hasn’t opened. When she’s not doing library things or sending hour long voice notes to someone she loves she can usually be found in her hammock between the trees of her swamp or laying out, listening to an audio while she paints and catches some sun.

You can find her all over the internet, here.

Julius Marques

Julius is the quick-witted host of the Around the Kinky Kampfire podcast, where curiosity meets candid conversation. Known for blending humor, insight, and a spark of mischief, he brings the same playful energy to the classroom as he does to the mic. Whether he’s unpacking big ideas about relationships or setting the scene for a laugh-out-loud improv game, Julius has a knack for making people feel both challenged and completely at ease. Expect clever banter, unexpected connections, and the occasional “Wait…did we just learn something important?” moment.
