Mitch Gilliam

Aged 14 going on 40, Mitch Gilliam didn’t ask to be born and disrupts his anger towards consciousness with missives about Tulsa culture and his own work in music, education, and comedy. He likes burgers, heavy metal, and his front row seat to the apocalypse. Find him on Instagram @itsbadmitch.
