Denim

In this pilot episode of "Denim", we explore the powerful journeys of three LGBTQIA+ creatives who are shape shifting their industries through fearless self-expression. Kidd Kenn, carving out his own path as a queer rapper in hip hop, speaks boldly about transforming the music scene. Bishme Cromartie, winner of Project Runway All Stars Season 20, opens up for the first time about being a gay designer from Baltimore and navigating the fashion world. We also introduce Deniim, a Baltimore creative who shares her story of sexual reassignment surgery through a beautiful fusion of animation and music. Each of these trailblazers is pushing boundaries, driving the change the creative world needs.
