Growing up as a post-Soviet kid and finding BTS when she needed them most: Martyna Kučinskaitė's ARMY story

On today’s episode I am fortunate enough to be interviewing an essayist from my latest book project I Am ARMY: We don’t need permission. This book features a collection of essays from ARMY from around the world that share their stories of how they found BTS and who they are. 

Martyna Kučinskaitė is a pianist, poet, and writer from Lithuania. She is currently tutoring students Lithuanian as well as teaching music. Her essay is titled My existence is impressive, unique, and important and tells her story of growing up as a post-Soviet kid and finding BTS when she needed them most. You can find her on Instagram @sauletos_pievos.

I Am ARMY: We don’t need permission is out now. You can grab a copy at revoltbooks.com, by ordering through your local indie retailer, as well as Amazon and Book Depository.

You can find me @thebtstheorist on Instagram, as well as @walleaeaglehawk on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
