This week on the podcast, we’re celebrating Pride with Kade Joy—trans masc lesbian photographer and queer history archivist—whose lens captures the vibrancy, complexity, and intimacy of queer life in New York City. Kade shares how documenting community events, nightlife, and self-portraits has not only shaped their career, but also deepened their connection to identity and healing. 

We talk about the magic of discovering queerness in a city that fully embraces it, the power of self-documentation, and why creating art just for yourself matters now more than ever. It’s a conversation about identity, community, and what it really means to be seen. Come listen!
