You Don't Need Permission to Love Another Person, and That's What Queerness is to Me with Jewel Sales

Jewel Sales is a queer Filipinx artist, feminist, personality, and activist. Originally from New York, grew up in Old Bridge, NJ, and now residing in Los Angeles.Jewel’s work embodies body positivity, feminism, and queer representation. As a queer artist, she felt a sense of urgency to create safe spaces and has been inspired by making people feel a sense of connectedness.Jewel noticed the LGBTQ+ community didn’t have enough nightlife options  other than drinking and clubbing. That's when “Paint and Sip with Jewel” was born. She started to host her own BIPOC + queer paint workshops, as an alternative safe space, colliding art and community. Jewel's art is available in-person Sundays at Silver Lake Flea and online through her website. Her art will be featured at Barkada Night Market Oct 24th and she is offering a Pumpkin Paint & Sip event on Oct 30th. You can connect with Jewel on IG through her personal and art accounts, and come join us for an IG Live aftershow with Jewel Oct 26th on @kapwa.yoga!
