Growing up in Neenah, Wisconsin, Sammi Price didn’t really see others like themselves. Until one day, that is, when they stumbled upon the poetry of a queer artist by the name of Andrea Gibson. Finally seeing herself in art inspired Sammi to boldly share their truth through spoken word. Little by little, their queerness crept out until one moment where they were given the choice of being authentic or being marketable. Fortunately for Sammi - and for others that would see themselves in their art - Sammi ultimately chose the less traveled and more queer path, and having it both ways: a successful career while being openly queer.
