Our first ever crossover episode! We have joined forces with the Southern Queeries podcast to bring you one of their episodes. They are a podcast dedicated to LGBTQ+ stories in the South and are phenomenal! We are so excited to be sharing this episode with you! In this episode they talk to Eveleena a.k.a Ivy Les Vixens, mental health advocate, YouTuber, and founder of the Florida burlesque company Les Vixens about the value of femininity in the queer community and how burlesque can be a safe space for the the LGBTQ community. Oh, and it gets a little nerdy for a bit!  Connect with Eveleena: https://www.lesvixens.com/ivy-les-vixen Insta @Eveleena Connect with Southern Queeries: http://www.southernqueeries.com Facebook @SouthernQueeriesPodcast Twitter @So_QueeriesPod Insta @SouthernQueeries Say hi to us!
