Finding LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces on the Road

We took on our first assignment for the online magazine, dapperQ, back in 2017. dapperQ is “…one of the worlds most widely read digital queer style magazines and is a preeminent voice in queer fashion and beauty. We inspire people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender presentations to think differently about both queer fashion and beauty as art and visual activism, and ultimately have a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with style.” Though Caroline and I don’t see ourselves as leaders in queer fashion and beauty, their travel section is a natural fit for us and we’ve been sharing our creative efforts with dapperQ’s audience pro bono ever since, having created guides for them from all across the United States. Our most recent adventure took place in Greenville, SC.
