Kevin Powell: Serving Fits, Finding Self


Listen Later

Kevin Powell is Black. Filipino. Queer. A Sagittarius with a sharp eye and even sharper fits. In this episode, we talk about growing up in PG County, Maryland, navigating mixed identity, and finding voice through style. Kevin shares how fashion became his first language—before he had the words to describe who he was. We talk code-switching, coming out, wholesale vs. e-comm, and what it means to show up as your full self.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to edit yourself to be accepted—or built a persona to survive a room—you might Filipino like Kevin.
