This week we sit down with my bestie, Thaddeus Coates, also known as Hippy Potter, as he shares his journey from humble beginnings in Washington, DC, to becoming a celebrated and multi-faceted artist. We discuss the influences of his childhood, the intersection of his queerness and art, and the challenges of navigating imposter syndrome (something he may or may not deal with). We reflect on family dynamics, the support he receives, and his significant career achievements, including collaborations with major brands like Pop-tart and Savage Fenty.
