Small Business, Big Courage with Sam Wróbel (he/they)
#3: Are you Transgender or LGBTQIA+? Do you live in a small rural town? Or maybe you are an artist, activist, or simply someone who wants to know what it is like to run a small business while living openly as Transgender or gender non-conforming. Sam Wróbel specializes in the Polish paper-cutting folk art of Wycinanki and is a gay, trans, man, and queer artist living in the American South and has experienced transition in the rural U.S. Tune in to listen to the inspiring story of Sam, how he learned to make Wycinanki as a child from his dear friend & folk artist, Doris Sikorsky, and how he started Sparrow Papercraft in 2018 to share his Wycinanki folk art with the world. His work is influenced by traditional Polish motifs, social movements, his travels, and the colorful culture of south Louisiana. Join us on The Queer Carter Podcast!
