This week, Kiki sits down with Nya the Vampire, the woman behind Atlanta’s all-Black burlesque revue, YAMMS, for a conversation all about confidence, sensuality, and taking up space unapologetically.

Nya breaks down what burlesque really is, what people can expect at a show, and how the art form can help women reconnect with their bodies, femininity, and confidence. They also get into seduction, self-expression, feeling sexy without performing for anybody else, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission to be bold.

Whether you’re already comfortable being the center of attention or still figuring out how to own the room, this one is your reminder that confidence is a practice — and sometimes you just need a little glitter, a little nerve, and a whole lot of audacity.

Every sip has a story. 🍸

We are sitting down for a wild CockTales with Kiki interview with Nya the Vampire to get the truth about the vampire lifestyle.

In this episode, we step away from our usual relationship dilemmas for one of our favorite unique interviews. Nya joins us to break down what it really means to live as a vampire, separating the Hollywood myths from the reality of her day-to-day existence.

Whether you are curious about alternative dating or just want to hear a perspective you definitely haven't encountered on the podcast before, this conversation covers it all. It is a fresh, weird, and honest look at identity that will keep you listening until the very last drop.

Pour something bubbly and let us know in the comments: what is the weirdest subculture you have ever dated? Subscribe for more weekly conversations.
