Stephanie and Lacey sit down and talk about their upbringing in Arkansas and how grateful they are to have been raised there — while also being grateful they were able to “get out.”
In this episode they talk with fellow Arkansas native, Mark Monroe, to discuss their commonalities of being raised in the South and what it was like to make it out. Mark is an artist, designer, stylist, and creator that has been consistent in everything he does. He initially got his start transforming and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community by forming the House of Avalon in Arkansas, to now working with Lizzo doing her most iconic looks, as well as creating the designs for Symone on Season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Tune in and listen to the many layers that is Marko Monroe, including making it LA, his "wtf" moment, the impact of his new creative responsibilities, and what it's been like reinventing himself while staying true to himself, as well as staying inspired within his chosen family, The House of Avalon.
