conversations about art, activism, and social change
I've always been the one asking questions that make people go, 'ooh, good question'. That's exactly what noseyAF is about.
I'm Stephanie Graham—artist, filmmaker, and your host. On this podcast, I dig into the lives of artists, activists, and everyday originals making work that matters.
What was the moment you knew you had to make this project? How do you handle rejection? What did your spouse say when you got into a six-month residency? What's the weirdest place inspiration struck?
These aren't polished success stories—they're honest conversations about what creative life actually looks like, without the highlight reel.
noseyAF is about the full artist life: the culture-shifting projects and the messy pivots, the breakthroughs and the 3am doubts, the meaningful work and the side hustles that fund it.
Subscribe and get in the mix—I'm so glad you're here.
