From famous music artists, to ground breaking political figures, and even psychics & drag performers, the special guests each week will leave you wanting to find your own ways to make the world a better place. ​ Each week , SHMEE will have an exclusive hour long conversation with a special guest, as well as other segments from cooking, to live music performances, and Sam will even pop by local businesses to showcase their stories.

This week our very special guest is Michael Buckley! He needs no introduction! We deep dive into what brings him joy, what he would tell his 12 year old self, and what impact his illustrious YouTube career had on his own life and his audiences'.

This week I sat down with my friends Javi Perez & Victor Borbolla. They wear many hats. Husbands, business owners, models, actors, and motivating queer role models. I chatted with them about being examples of inspiration for the community and what it takes to have a successful marriage.

This week I sat down with the one, the only, Jenni Farley. She opened up about life when the cameras are off, what truly brings her joy, where her impeccable work ethic comes from, and how owning a retail space is easier than furnishing a house.

This week I sat down with singer/song writer, Taylor Tote. We dove into her ever-evolving music career, her sliding glass door life, and where she pulls inspiration from!

This week I had the joy of sitting down and talking to NYC Drag Star Egypt, or as I know him, my friend Rovin Sena. We talked about his childhood in the Dominican Republic, his love of dance, his drag persona Egypt, and finding your identity as a queer person.

This week I sat down with lifetime dancer and choreographer Tootsie Olan and talked about how to always live in a state of pure joy. She shares how dance/yoga changed her life, why she chooses to just LIVE, and the time she met Beyonce.
