A celebrated personality in the Bay Area drag scene since 2006, she was voted “San Francisco’s Most Notable Drag Queen” in 2015 and the 53rd Empress Of San Francisco in 2018.

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.
