“Femme Voices” Feature: Interview with Multifaceted Intern Doctor, Sipho-Sabo

Posted on January 28, 2019 by The Glam Femme-inist

This interview is very meaningful to me because when I came across Sipho-Sabo’s Instagram (@batwoman_z), I was struck with how confidently she embraces all aspects of her identity. I admired that and wished I had known someone like her when I was younger. This interview is important because although Sipho-Sabo is in the beginning stages of her career, and will no doubt change the world someday, right now I know there are other queer Black girls who need to hear that it’s OK to fully be yourself, on your own terms.

Travel is the Spice of Life, Vol. 1: My Trip to Portugal

Posted on October 16, 2018 by The Glam Femme-inist

Although I have done some traveling in the past, lately, I have let life keep me grounded to home-base more than I had planned to. So this past summer, when opportunities arose for me to do all the globe-trotting I had ever dreamed of, I took them without a second thought, even when I wasn’t sure how I would pull it all off.
