Waymon Hudson’s journey is anything but ordinary. As a queer, deaf expat, he has transcended barriers in both his personal and professional life, blending artistry, strategy, and authenticity to redefine storytelling. With a heart full of passion and a mind driven by purpose, Waymon’s work spans musical theatre, memoir writing, and marketing, crafting narratives that inspire, empower, and push the boundaries of creativity.
Born in the Deep South, Waymon’s life and career have been marked by resilience. As a late-deafened individual, he has faced challenges that many might consider insurmountable, yet these obstacles have become the very source of his creative power. It is through this unique lens that he crafts his work—one that celebrates identity, authenticity, and the full spectrum of human experience.
Turning Struggles Into Stories
“I write the way I live—with boldness, bite, and a little bit of glitter,” says Waymon, summarizing his unapologetic approach to life and work. His memoir, Notes from a Sissy, is a testament to this boldness. The book chronicles Waymon’s journey growing up gay in the South, offering an unflinching exploration of trauma, survival, and triumph. It is a memoir that speaks to anyone who has ever felt marginalized, misunderstood, or silenced.
“Notes from a Sissy is my love letter to the parts of me that were hidden and dismissed,” Waymon explains. “It’s for everyone who has fought to exist, to speak, and to take up space.” With humor, heart, and raw honesty, Waymon’s memoir resonates with readers of all backgrounds, making it clear that his voice is one worth hearing.
From Page to Stage: Reimagining Love Through Speakeasy
Waymon’s creative journey doesn’t end with the written word. As a lover of musical theatre, he has brought his storytelling skills to the stage, creating Speakeasy—a bold, queer reimagining of Romeo & Juliet. Set in a 1920s queer speakeasy, the musical is a celebration of forbidden love, rebellion, and self-expression.
Speakeasy is not just a musical; it’s Waymon’s way of reasserting his voice in a world that often expects him to be silent. It’s a reflection of his own experiences as a queer, deaf individual and a powerful commentary on the importance of living authentically, no matter the societal pressures. With jazz-fueled songs and an unforgettable narrative, Speakeasy is a musical that challenges the traditional boundaries of love stories, offering a fresh and inclusive perspective.
“With Speakeasy, I’m not just telling a love story—I’m reclaiming it. It’s about rewriting history to reflect the voices that have long been ignored,” says Waymon. His work is a reflection of his philosophy: to create art that is meaningful, inclusive, and unapologetically true to who you are.

For Waymon, marketing is about more than just pushing products or services—it’s about telling authentic stories that resonate with people on a deep level. “Marketing is storytelling,” Waymon explains. “It’s about creating connections that make people feel something, whether that’s joy, excitement, or a sense of belonging.”
His work in marketing reflects his belief in the power of stories to drive change and create impact. By putting human experiences at the center of every campaign, Waymon helps brands connect with their audiences in ways that go beyond mere transactions.
