In this episode of Empowered & Out, I sit down with Koray Lynx — a first-generation, queer creative whose story spans Germany, Turkey, and the U.S. As a queer Muslim immigrant, Koray’s journey is one of resilience, identity, and unapologetic self-expression.

We dive deep into what it means to live authentically at the intersections of culture, faith, queerness, and creativity — and why representation matters now more than ever. From navigating stigma and displacement to building art that blends memory, identity, and resistance, Koray’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we take up space as our full, authentic selves.

🌈 If you’ve ever felt like your identities don’t “fit” together, or you’ve struggled to be seen for all of who you are — this episode is for you.
