Mou's Story
​
Moushumi Ghose ("Mou" pronounced like Mo) is a multi-passionate creator, writer, musician, educator, licensed therapist, and documentary filmmaker whose mission has been cultivating awareness around oppressive structures for more than three decades.
​
As a queer, south Asian, person born to immigrants, Mou struggled with understanding and fitting within the normative culture. Finding solace in music, and the queer communities in the 80s & 90s San Francisco, Mou recognized the true path to healing was through pleasure, art, community, and creativity.
​
It has been Mou's journey to facilitate this discovery, understanding, and exploration for others.
​
Mou became a licensed therapist in 2007, dedicating a group practice towards sex therapy, supporting the LGBTQ, Kink, Non-Monogamous communities in finding their voice so they can live more authentically, and founding the group collective Los Angeles Sex Therapy (LAST).
​​
Mou has established herself as a multifaceted voice through her documentary films, music, YouTube videos, public speaking and writing.
