Welcome to Sleepover!
Sleepover is a project that celebrates connection, creativity, and cultural diversity.
The newsletter delivers cozy content to your inbox every week, attempting to make sense of the world we exist in while highlighting good news from around the globe. Here’s the structure:
Intro: Brief thoughts on life and more from yours truly!
Capy Corner: A roundup of good news for queer, BIPOC+, and womxn-identifying communities
Weekly Playlist: A weekly playlist featuring ~10 tracks from diverse creators
Sleepover Update: The latest on the Sleepover project, including recent parties, media, interviews, and more
The radio throws parties that turn into sleepovers, featuring diverse DJs from around the globe (streamed on Twitch and uploaded to YouTube). Through pop up parties that turn into sleepovers and cozy conversations (shared online and in print!), Sleepover promotes social connection and amplifies the voices of diverse creators.
The playlists feature ~10 tracks every week from diverse creators (shared in the newsletter).
Sleepover is a part of buildspace’s s4 program. :)
Who is behind Sleepover?
For my three friends reading this, thanks for being here! For anyone who found this link on the web, TikTok, or Twitter, let me introduce myself:
My name is Travis Zane. I am a queer, AAPI creator who travels every month to party study the culture of community: how we organize, evolve, and experience life together. I am obsessed with independent media (the convergence of photography, writing, and art from niche communities makes me cum happy). I am tired of living in a world in which the news makes us more fearful and anxious, as opposed to excited or hopeful. And I am fired up every time I see a queer, BIPOC+, or womxn individual sharing their story (AKA most of my friends).
In short, this project is a combination of all of the things that I care about: A newsletter from yours truly (contemplating life), a roundup of good news for diverse communities (from around the globe), and an occasional party (that turns into a sleepover) and print media series (including interviews with diverse creators).
With Sleepover, I aim to create:
✨ A cozy newsletter sharing thoughts life and wins in cultural diversity.
🎛️ Weekly playlists featuring 10 songs (mainly from BIPOC+, queer, and womxn-identifying musicians).
📙 Occasional interviews (online and in print) amplifying the voices of diverse creators.
🫂 Pop-up kikis with DJs from the community — sometimes streamed on Twitch and always available on YouTube.
My goal here is to document — and support — the collective pursuit of building a more equitable world together (or, at least, having a time while we try).
For now, please feel free to pass the newsletter sub link to your friends and family! This will help ensure that I’m not just writing for my mom.
With love,
Your favorite capybara ~ AKA Travis Zane
