In this episode of The XX Files, PreauXX sits down with Memphis multidisciplinary artist and UNAPOLOGETIC creative Nubia for a conversation rooted in inner worlds, power dynamics, and what it means to protect what’s sacred.

Centered around her latest work, Slightly Sacred, Nubia breaks down the meaning behind the title, the parts of herself she had to shed, and how power shows up in creativity, relationships, and society at large.

The conversation expands into a deeper exploration of modern life — from the idea that society is designed to disconnect people from what’s sacred, to the controversy that we often confuse stimulation with happiness.

This episode is about grounding, identity, and the quiet forms of power that don’t need to announce themselves.
