NAFS, Safe Spaces & SWANA Creatives: Drew Demetry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re joined by Drew Demetry, founder of NAFS, for a powerful conversation about SWANA identity, queerness & community.
In this episode, Drew shares his journey growing up between Denmark and Egypt, navigating religion, culture and sexuality. He opens up about being outed, family rejection and reconciliation, and how those experiences shaped his understanding of identity and belonging.
We also explore his career across fashion, art and luxury, where he experienced racism, homophobia and systemic exclusion: leading him to build NAFS, a platform dedicated to uplifting SWANA queer creatives. Drew breaks down the importance of creating financial ecosystems, safe spaces and community-led platforms that actually serve people.
From queer Arab club nights in London to the tension between culture and sexuality, we dive into the realities of navigating multiple identities, the challenges within the queer community itself, and why true community requires accountability.
