Episode Synopsis

On this episode of Keeping It Kuntroversial With Kourtney, I’m sharing my deeply personal journey of navigating Johannesburg’s queer nightlife and ballroom scenes—not just as a trans girl in the early stages of my transition but also as a neurodivergent woman. Johannesburg’s queer spaces are vibrant, chaotic, and full of life, but they can also be overwhelming, filled with unspoken rules, social hierarchies, and moments that make you question where you belong.

This episode explores the intersections of identity, nightlife, and culture, diving into what it means to seek connection and validation in spaces that are both liberating and demanding. Whether you’re in the ballroom or on the dance floor, it’s all about showing up as your most authentic self—even if that self is still a work in progress.
