Interview With A Vampire with Nya The Vampire
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.
