Today’s guest is Dexter Mayfield—a dancer, actor, plus-size model, and fierce force of queer joy and self-expression. From his early roots in Dallas to performing with icons like Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry, Dexter has built a career that celebrates visibility, movement, and radical self-love.
Whether he's lighting up the stage with Savage x Fenty or judging on Paramount+’s Come Dance With Me, Dexter is rewriting the rules of representation—on his own terms.
In this episode, we talk about it all: breaking into the beauty industry as a plus-size, queer performer, navigating a religious upbringing, challenging outdated beauty standards, and what it takes to build a thriving career while staying true to yourself. So get cozy, stay open, and let’s get into it.
