As we near the end of 2020, Nikkiesha shares some of their favorite moments from those interviews, where people have shared their experiences as BIPOC and/or queer/trans/GNC musicians, artists, and label founders. If you hear anything you like, please check out the full interviews, all available on our showpage!
