Our guest this week is friend-of-the-pod Jamal Miller, who is a host on the Drag Race recap podcast “Thanks For Coming!” and a lifestyle blogger/vlogger at “Gays in the Life”. We hear about growing up in Alaska, moving to Indiana for music, his recent vlogs regarding race, Drag Race, Lil Nas X, and eating Keto!

This will be our last episode this season! We're taking a break to do some podcast housekeeping, strategy, and outreach, so that we can come back with more great queer content for you soon! We love and appreciate this community SO MUCH.

This week we dive right into our interview with the fabulous Shareef Hadid Jenkins, founder of BoiPKG, a fashion brand that is not limited by gender constructs. BoiPKG makes harnesses, underwear, jumpsuits, boxers, kaftans, swimwear—you name it! We chat with Shareef about everything from being kicked out of the house at a young age, to coming up in the club scene, starting his own successful queer fashion company, being an activist, and giving back to the community.

On this episode, Jonah shares the (oddly and darkly funny) story of how we found out his father recently passed. And our fabulous guest this week is Alexandra Owensby, an Irish dancer, Creative Director for the Brooklyn Irish Dance Company,  and a queer costume, accessories and upcycled clothing designer. Alexandra also happens to be an engineer, with a Master's degree in Energy Systems Engineering.  (interview recorded in March 2021)
