Project Overview

The GLIDE Pride Team & GLIDE Memorial Church in presenting the legendary B0NNi33 Vi0L3T in the second installment of her series of talk show style interviews and culminating “Sunday Third Celebration.” Featuring different San Francisco Bay Area drag artists “Drag and Spirituality” starting on July 19th , 2020 and culminated on August 16th , 2020. Interviews took place every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday at 7:11PM PST on GLIDE's Facebook LIVE.

In each episode, Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, guides a conversation surrounding Drag and Spirituality, with drag artists of a variety of spiritual experience, gender, age, race, sexual orientation, size, ability, and styles of drag.  Bonnie and GLIDE would like to showcase the intersectionality between drag and spirituality- that neither are mutually exclusive- and to integrate both the individual and the people into ONEness.

In a final performance on August 16th at 3:33 pm PST. Six drag artists share a piece of their spiritual practice in the form of a song, dance, prayer, and other rituals.
