About the Podcast

noseyAF: Conversations about Art, Activism, and Social Change
Want to hear how real artists actually make it work? noseyAF skips the glossy bios and gets into the messy, human, creative parts of building a life in the arts, and using that life to change the world.

Hosted by artist, filmmaker, and professionally nosey person Stephanie Graham, each episode goes deep with working artists, filmmakers, organizers, and culture-shifters about what's actually behind their work: the decisions, the doubts, the money stuff, the pivots, and the "how do you keep going?" moments. No hustle propaganda. No gatekeeping. No pretending it's easy.

If you love peeking behind the curtain, noseyAF gives you the honest, energizing conversation you didn't know you needed.

Stephanie Graham

Hi there! I'm Stephanie, the creative force behind this podcast!
As a curious multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and Real Housewives scholar, I dive into the fascinating world of relationships and subcultures through conversations with artists, activists, and neighbors. I explore their practices while sharing my journey in art, which includes creating films, photos, and installations focusing on race, social class, and subculture.
Outside of my studio practice and podcasting, I also run Graham Cracker Pins, which offers unique pins that reflect my love for creativity. Although my background involves work in TV and film, NDAs limit what I can share about those projects. Nevertheless, when I can, I do! For more of my art, visit missgraham.com or dive into pin heaven at GrahamCrackerPin.co. Join me as I unravel what others are up to with humor and curiosity.
