About Chelsea Devantez:
Chelsea Devantez is an Emmy Award–nominated writer, comedian, director, and host of the podcast Glamorous Trash. Before she entered into an overall television deal with 20th Century Studios, she was Jon Stewart’s head writer for Apple TV+’s The Problem with Jon Stewart. Her other television credits include Not Dead Yet, Girls5eva, and Bless This Mess, among others. She grew up in six different states all across the Southwest but will always consider New Mexico home.
About Chelsea's Memoir "I Shouldn't Be Telling You This":
There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn’t be telling you, like how her family used lawn chairs as living room furniture, or how she used to date a magician. Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn’t be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or the domestic violence she survived as a teenager. In her hilarious and inspiring new collection of essays, Devantez tracks her life from a childhood in precarity to a burgeoning career in comedy to becoming the head writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart.
About Loyalty Books:
We like books. We like you. And we’re ready to bring the best diverse books and events to our community. Loyalty was founded by Hannah Oliver Depp, a Black and Queer Bookseller who has spent her career working to diversify the book industry in order for it to better serve the powerful communities of color and queerness. In February of 2023, Christine Bollow came on as co-owner and business partner, bringing her vast events experience and perspective as a Queer, disabled, and biracial Filipina bookseller into the fabric of Loyalty. We aim to be the Mid-Atlantic’s neighborhood spot for wonderful books and unique stationery, gifts, and programming. Our staff and our selection highlight the diverse voices and creatives that make our communities great. Our intersectional community is important to our staff, therefore those are the books you'll find centered in our store, in our programming, and in our promotions. We work to create an inclusive, welcoming environment and provide books and goods for the home because, well, books are home. By creating a team of local vendors and community partners in Washington, DC and Silver Spring, MD that center Black, PoC, and Queer voices we create singular shopping and event experiences.
