noseyAF: Conversations about Art, Activism, and Social Change

Stephanie Graham

Want to hear how real artists actually make it work? noseyAF is the show where we skip the glossy bios and get into the messy, creative, human parts of building a life in the arts. I’m Stephanie Graham, an artist, filmmaker, and professionally nosy person, and every episode I talk with working artists, filmmakers, organizers, and culture-shifters about what’s really behind their projects: the decisions, the doubts, the money stuff, the pivots, and the “how do you keep going?” moments. No hustle
