This week on Dishing with Buff Faye, Buff spills the tea on the Brandy Alexander drag queen mural that was “accidentally” erased in Plaza Midwood.

During Charlotte Pride weekend, Brandy’s face reappeared on the wall—this time squeezed between Anthony Hamilton and Romare Bearden. But as Buff points out, the new mural strips away the bold colors, symbolism, and queer protest that once made it powerful.

What’s left is a muted, “safe” version of Brandy—visibility without meaning. Read Buff’s full article, Mural Replaced, But Not Restored: Brandy Alexander Deserved More, at BuffFaye.com.

Then, Buff welcomes Jason McCraw and Zuni Johnson, founders of the Twirl to the World Foundation. Together they share how love, legacy, and philanthropy fuel their iconic events, raise thousands for LGBTQ+ causes, and bring joy to Charlotte—including this fall’s cheeky Santa Speedo Run/Walk.

It’s an episode about queer resilience, chosen family, and living your best life - glam, giving back, and demanding dignity.

Let’s Dish, y’all.
