In this episode of Kueen Talk, we sit down with Nevaeh, a first-year college student navigating new beginnings, bold choices, and personal growth. Nevaeh opens up about pledging Delta as a Black queer student and what it’s been like stepping into spaces that look very different from her hometown. We talk honestly about finding community when diversity feels limited, staying grounded in identity.

Nevaeh also shares her journey of identity. Embracing being a stud after previously identifying as bisexual, and what that shift has meant for her confidence, self-expression, and how she moves through the world. The conversation also dives into her experience joining the debate team. What it’s like being new, finding her voice, and falling in love with something that challenges and excites her.
