“I am just a little Black trans girl from Harlem who was able to make some of her wildest dreams come true.” —DJ and model memphy (Memphy)⁣ ⁣ Memphy is at the beating heart of the Big Apple’s queer nightlife scene. “Definitely expect to feel the bass in your bones,” she says of her DJ sets. “What I love most about being a part of this community is that we practice love and acceptance without even having to try. We are also the biggest trendsetters of most scenes around the globe.”⁣ ⁣ When she’s not behind the decks, Memphy is turning heads with her unique style. “I love being given the opportunity to showcase trans beauty in a positive light. Being able to walk and breathe in spaces that a lot of aspiring trans models feel is an impossibility, I’m able to make a possibility. It’s about opening doors.”⁣ ⁣ memphy is one of 24 young, unique, difference-makers and catalysts we love who is sparking the cultural zeitgeist. #24for24 🩵⁣ ⁣ Photos by memphy
