About this Event

An evening with Natalie Davis, author of Saying Yes: My Adventures in Polyamory, in conversation with Mariel Penberthy!

We're celebrating Natalie's new book, which offers an unvarnished look into her world, as she explores excitement, intimacy, and connection in unexpected places, including a few stairwells. With humor, heart, and raw honesty, this memoir is for anyone who has ever wondered what might happen if we say yes to what lies beyond conventional relationships.

Order SAYING YES: MY ADVENTURES IN POLYAMORY here!

Natalie Davis, author of “Saying Yes: My Adventures in Polyamory,” is the editor of the online publication Polyamory Today. Her work has appeared in Heart Affairs, Discovering Polyamory, Monogamish, and The Memoirist. She has been interviewed on relationship podcasts and has presented workshops on communication and non-monogamy across the United States, and her opinions on polyamory have appeared in The Washington Post. A recovering DOJ trial lawyer, she lives in the Washington, DC, area, with her partner and metamour. You can find her on Instagram, Medium, and her website as nataliedavisadventures.

Mariel Penberthy is a stage, screen, and voice actor with a B.A. from Yale University and an M.A. from Georgetown University in English Literature. She studied acting at Studio Conservatory and the Shakespeare Theatre and has performed at various theatres in the DMV. The Washington, D.C. area has been home for most of her life, though she spent a lot of time traveling in Europe (pre-kids). Now deep into the raising of two children, she is hoping to transition out of an artistic pause and is very thankful to Natalie for wonderful inspiration!
