Mann also visits gay meccas in these essays - the resorts of Key West, Provincetown, and Rehoboth Beach.

For Shantae (she/her(s)), these chapters of life are inextricably tied to her hair.

What gives us our Edge? And how do we go beyond it? How thin is the line between taking part, and tipping into victory?

And what happens when things go wrong – or when it all goes right? Welcome to The Edge, a podcast by TAG Heuer. We’ll be talking to people operating at the very edge of possibility - from athletes to actors, and from artists to entrepreneurs. Watch out. This is the Edge.

I step closer and stare into the canyon. My heart beats faster. Almost five thousand feet below, a river flows, pencil thin. I'm terrified yet in awe.

The moment becomes an allegory. For me it symbolizes the ...
