Episode 21: How to Create a Sapphic Scene with Alex, Karis, Chloe, and Faye from Sapphic Memphis

Sapphic Memphis has become a creative heaven for Alex, Karis, Chloe, and Faye—four board members who've found their artistic selves through building queer community. This volunteer-run collective doesn't just host stylish underground parties; it's created a safe space where members can explore their identities and express themselves authentically. From Alex conquering stage fright while hosting comedy nights to Chloe discovering the importance of being surrounded by creative people who inspire her musical aspirations, each member has found new creative courage through the group. Faye went from hiding her all-black, spike-covered aesthetic to finally expressing her true goth drag artistry inspired by video games. Karis describes it as "excavating yourself”—the self-discovery process naturally breeding creativity as they express their evolving identities. What started as event planning has transformed into a rainbow mixing pot of artists, music lovers, drag artists, and budding musicians who've found their tribe.
