Bronzed, Blonde and Unbothered: The episode with Afrosephone Applegate

This week on NO MA’AM, we’re joined by the stunning and outspoken Afrosephone Applegate, aka The Bronze Blonde, for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, reflective, and real.

Afrosephone talks about her evolution as a drag performer, navigating identity in the spotlight, and how COVID reshaped New York City’s nightlife scene. We discuss why solidarity—especially in support of trans women—has to be more than a buzzword in the LGBTQ+ community.

She also shares candid thoughts on dating as a trans woman, what authentic representation actually looks like in media, and her take on the current era of RuPaul’s Drag Race. With sharp wit and undeniable charm, Afrosephone makes this episode both deeply thoughtful and incredibly fun.

🎙️ A must-listen for anyone who loves drag, pop culture, and honest conversations about community and visibility.
