Family, this week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn continues to bring you the stories that matter most to our community, and this one is pure joy!

We sit down for an exclusive, celebratory chat with Kirrin Finch founder Kelly as they celebrate 10 years of radically inclusive, gender-defying fashion. Kelly shares the personal journey and the entrepreneurial fight behind creating a clothing brand that is true armor for our community. Find out how they ditched standard sizing with a "fit party" to ensure their suits and shirts are perfect for all bodies (curves, hips, and chests included!), giving you that feeling of your "inside matching your outside." This conversation is a masterclass in how we bring Queer Joy into every moment, even through our wardrobe.
