What would life be like if you grew up in a haunted house? What if the attic door in your bedroom opened and closed on its own? Amber Rose Washington joins us to tell us what it was like to grow up in a haunted house in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Amber also shares how she got started in the music business (and how it relates to the haunting!), and tells us about an upcoming project where she'll be staying in a haunted location writing a horror screenplay. Amber knew she was transgender since around the age of 4, and gives us personal insight into her life story - the sorrows, and the triumphs. We spend a little time at the end delving into issues surrounding transgender folk, including the part religion plays. Y'all, join us!
