🎧 Listen now at BuffFaye.com/podcast

This week on Dishing with Buff Faye, things get real.

In honor of National Recovery & Addiction Month, Buff Faye opens up in a deeply personal and powerful episode that shines a spotlight on recovery, friendship, and fierce transformation.

Buff begins with a heartfelt reflection on what it means to show up for each other—not just when life is glitter and rainbows, but in the middle of the storm.

“A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

Then, Buff welcomes her longtime drag sister and special guest Valarie Aunt-Carol Rockwell, a Charlotte drag legend with a story that’s as raw as it is inspiring. Together they share memories of:

- 15+ years of friendship
- Competing in North Carolina drag pageants
- Performing together at the very first Buff Faye Drag Brunch back in 2009
- Reigning as Miss Charlotte Pride and NC Entertainer of the Year

But this episode goes deeper. Valarie opens up about her painful battle with drug and alcohol addiction, the moment of clarity that saved her, and what life looks like now—over a year sober.

She shares the truth about recovery: the shame, the healing, the community, and the deep joy of finally feeling all the feelings without numbing them. She even discusses how the 12-step journey helped her begin to rebuild the most important relationships in her life—including her friendship with Buff Faye.

💔 Tears are shed.
💄 Lipstick is reapplied.
💖 And hope shines through.

This isn’t just an episode about addiction. It’s a celebration of resilience, chosen family, and the beauty of second chances. With laughter, honesty, and drag fabulousness, Buff and Valarie show that recovery is fierce—and so are the people who choose it.

Let’s Dish, y’all.

Mural Replaced, But Not Restored: Brandy Alexander Deserved More

Just in time for Charlotte Pride Week (August 12–19), a new mural had appeared. Brandy was there again—but not as she once was. Her image was now rendered in grayscale, positioned at the center between Romare Bearden, a celebrated Charlotte-born artist, and Anthony Hamilton, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter.

Floating alongside them, a quote by Picasso reads: "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

But this moment didn’t feel cleansing - or celebratory. It felt… hollow. Because what now lives on that wall is not restoration. It’s sanitization.
