Yegi Saryan learned from an early age that she’d have to be responsible for her own success. Despite funding and immigration challenges, she put herself through school three times over.

Queer Eye isn’t a makeover show. It’s a how-to guide to owning your life. And you don’t have to “strugg to func” in personal grooming or home decor to actually learn a thing or two. How to be a boss—in the shower, in business, in life—according to the Fab Five.
Rowena and Frank Montoya lived a comfortable life until 2009, when the couple was forced to sell everything and start from scratch.

A partnership formed at a wedding in July 2016—and not just at the altar. At an upscale restaurant in Nairobi, Ashleigh Gersh Miller and Sandra Zhao bonded over a dress—a dress that works for any occasion, from a reporting trip in remote South Sudan to an urban wedding.
