South Sound Sapphic Queer History. Local Resistance. Collective Joy.
Welcome to South Sound Sapphic—a powerful, community-rooted podcast and community organization amplifying the voices, stories, and resistance of queer, trans, and sapphic folks in Washington’s South Puget Sound. Hosted by Roxy, a queer Black femme entrepreneur, creative, storyteller, and organizer. This show is a deep dive into the past, present, and future of QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) liberation in one of the most politically charged and historically rich regions of the Pacific Northwest.
This is more than a podcast. It’s a living archive. A love letter. A call to action.
Each episode uncovers the truths buried in Washington’s soil—stories of exclusion, uprising, survival, and joy. From anti-miscegenation laws and redlining to the AIDS crisis, the fight for gender-affirming care, and the organizing power of mutual aid—we trace the real history of this place through the eyes and voices of those who’ve shaped it, resisted it, and are still building something better.
Whether you’re a newly out late bloomer, a long-time activist, a sapphic academic, or just seeking to belong somewhere tender and revolutionary—South Sound Sapphic invites you into the conversation.
What You’ll Hear:
- Deeply researched historical storytelling that centers QTBIPOC voices and movements across the South Sound
- Candid, heart-centered conversations with queer organizers, artists, educators, public servants, elders, and youth
- Exploration of policy and protest, from grassroots wins to legislative backlashes
- Spotlights on mutual aid, queer joy, and chosen family as radical tools of survival
- Calls to action that are local, tangible, and rooted in collective care
This Podcast Is For You If…
- You’re queer, sapphic, trans, nonbinary—or a fierce ally—living in Washington state (especially Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap, or King County)
- You want to learn about the real history of civil rights and queer liberation in Washington—not just from textbooks, but from lived experience
- You’re craving grounded, intelligent storytelling that doesn’t shy away from hard truths—and also makes space for joy, healing, and resistance

- You know that community is everything, and you’re ready to find yours
