🎙️ What’s This Episode About?
Keri Stanistreet is the founder of Sapphic Socials - a Liverpool-based group creating space for women and femme-identifying people to connect, laugh, and just be themselves.
Keri joins John to talk about building community from the ground up, and why queer women need spaces that aren’t centred around nightlife, dating apps, or needing to explain yourself. She shares the story behind Sapphic Socials, the challenges of carving out something new, and the joy that comes from watching strangers become chosen family.
They also talk about Keri’s own experiences as a lesbian - from growing up and coming out, to navigating the awkward, funny, and sometimes frustrating parts of queer life that don’t make it into the rom-coms.
It’s down to earth, full of heart, and a celebration of queer women showing up for each other.
