On the beauty of drag, dabbing, and the LGBTQAI+ influence on cannabis.

AS TOLD TO GOSSAMER

I’m a cannabis activist, choreographer, and creative director, but I’m best known as a female illusionist from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

I consider myself an artist first and foremost, but I like to wear many hats—or many shoes, if you will. Quarantine really pushed me to test my skills and I found out that I can run a light board and do my own set design, and that I really am a one-man band. I feel lucky that my art as a drag queen has been pretty much accepted by the masses and that I’ve been able to create a name and a brand for myself that way.

 

It’s really about expressing your inner diva, and regardless of your gender identity, I think everyone has one.
