Artist Statement: My sister found her light as a bi woman first, and in its glow, I began to see myself. “You Held the Mirror First” celebrates our bond as sisters and as bi women—two artists who hold space for each other, reflect strength, and stand together in front of a place that has stood as a beacon of safety and joy for the queer community in Nashville.
