Show Notes
WerQfest launched in 2020 as a passion project for husbands Tre’von Griffith and Shelton Boyd-Griffith. Five years later, it’s a mainstay in St. Louis’ summer events lineup and a joyful celebration of the Black queer community in the region. Tre’von, also known as Tre G, talks about the 2024 festival, its importance to the Midwest, his return to the stage as a performer, and the Black LGBTQ+ community that’s grown over the last five years.
