Summary

Princess Nokia is an amazing rapper from the streets of New York who put out two albums this year—Everything Is Beautiful and Everything Sucks. We talk about her growing up in abuse and being traumatized, and finding a home in the ballroom scene, and feeling fluid, and feeling powerful, and feeling clairvoyant, and beating up a man in the subway, and more. She’s a truly fascinating person.
