Welcome back to Honing In and my interview with Stephanie Graham.

Stephanie Graham is a Chicago-based lens-based artist and podcast host whose work explores social class, subcultures, race, and gender—often blurring the lines between truth and fiction to spark conversation. She's fascinated by how we connect and how our shared experiences shape who we are. Stephanie hosts noseyAF: conversations about art, activism, and social change, a podcast featuring candid conversations with artists, activists, neighborhood visionaries, and everyday people creatively shaping a better world. When she's not behind the lens or mic, you'll find her curating film screenings, collaborating with artists to expand access to the arts, or catching up on The Real Housewives—a favorite source of inspiration and cultural analysis.
