Why is there so much focus on monogamous love in the media, even though 1 in 9 people have been in an open relationship? How is monogamy tied to settler colonial nation-building in North America? I dive deeper into this topic and explore the media scene in Toronto, a city with more film festivals than any other in the world, in the latest issue of The Grind magazine. Caveat: there was a slight error in the pic used, this is my lead actress, Taneikah, who apparently I look like, even though its m

There is nothing wrong with being monogamous; it’s a valid relationship orientation. The issue is that many who practice monogamy, including those who are naturally monogamous, are conditioned to do so in toxic ways. Conscious monogamy is critical and aware, free from possessiveness, and accepting of other relationship orientations. *While a conscious monogamist can date a polyamorist, some cannot due to trauma, which may lead to an inability to regulate jealousy, and that’s fine. Some conscious

Yes, I'm polyamorous, and I have never been monogamous. There is nothing strange or wrong about being polyamorous. In fact, the social conditioning that presents monogamy as the standard relationship model for everyone is what's truly unusual and misguided. Contrary to popular belief, humans, like many animals, are not inherently monogamous. It is culture, heavily influenced by religion and colonization, that has propagated the idea of compulsory monogamy on a global scale. This imposition overl

It’s always telling when monogamous people start asking about polyamory and open relationships. You can hear it in their questions—how does it work, what’s it like, how do you manage it? They’re not horrified or skeptical; they’re genuinely curious, trying to imagine themselves in a different relationship paradigm. It’s not just idle curiosity. It’s an itch, a little nudge from that part of themselves that wonders if there’s more to love and connection than what they’ve been taught. It’s like th

People often wish there were a magic pill to help a monogamous partner embrace polyamory, but real transformation doesn’t work like that. Shifting from a monogamous mindset to understanding and accepting polyamory is a layered, deeply personal process. It takes time, trust, and a willingness to engage with discomfort. The most powerful starting point is open, honest dialogue—conversations that are rooted in empathy, not persuasion, and that honor both your truth and your partner’s boundaries. Co

Many monogamous people who haven’t spent time in polyamorous communities assume that polyamorists are somehow immoral or undisciplined, largely because they’ve been taught that monogamy is the only valid way to express love. From a young age, most of us are socialized to equate exclusivity with devotion, possession with loyalty, and sexual restraint with moral integrity. In that framework, anyone who practices love outside those bounds is framed as unstable, selfish, or ruled by desire. But poly
