Our guest on this episode is Shelby Zoe Coley, a Black queer filmmaker based in New York City working across nonfiction and documentary forms. Shelby uses rhythm, portraiture, and the spoken word to explore intersections between queerness, race and creative practices. Her work has been featured in renowned publications such as Afropunk, Slay TV and Curve Magazine.

On this episode, Shelby and I talk about making a musical featuring people of color on the lines of "High School Musical," her movie “Consistent Slay,” and about how her art is made with the intention to heal some sort of a wound, which she believes all great art comes from. We hope you enjoy this episode !
