I have always been magnetically attracted to confident women.  My mother, grandmother, Aunts, teachers and friends.  Mary is one of these said women!  I credit Mary for inspiring me to pursue Drag Story Hour.  Together we are partners with our forthcoming Family TV program Imagination Station.

Darienne Lake is a STAR and always has been!  A staple for outstanding Drag entertainment in the Rochester Community and now beloved worldwide as a fierce contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6 and All-Stars 8.  Mostly I’m grateful for our laughs and pancake brunches!

Tim has some stories but I am most inspired by how he encourages college youth to follow their dreams without compromising being exactly who they are!

Tayler Mayde, sober, Peer counselor, parent of 2, Drag King, Pageant winner and overall positive light.  I’m thrilled to have Tayler as a guest and friend.

I read if you're not learning you're not living. Often times us Older Queens think we know it all (NOPE) and I have had the privilege of coming up in the Rochester drag scene where we make efforts to learn from one another young and old (still with a hefty dose of shade). Carmen Adore came onto the scene here in Rochester and I immediately felt a family vibe! From her obvious talent on the stage to her excellence with styling wigs WORLDWIDE with her self made business Hatz by Carlos, Carmen has truly impressed me! I am most proud to call Carmen my sister/friend who loves a good laugh and is always willing to lend a helping hand.

Aggy Dune Queen is the QUEEN MOTHER of the Rochester drag scene. Aggy has had an undeniable impact on myself, Darienne Lake, Pandora Boxx and a gaggle of many others since the moment she hit the stage. (Whether they like to admit it or not!) The magic we have on stage with banter is truly something I will be grateful for until I stop clomping around in my size 12 pleaser pumps! Aggy never disappoints and despite the obvious ageism in the entertainment world she defies the odds and consistently surprises audiences with her glamorous, iconic and incredible performances. The Lucy to my Ethel, Aggy Dune!

Join us for as we reminisce about our younger days together and share some of our similar past lives that have informed the love and unconventional family we now share together.

Mrs Kasha Davis everyone’s favorite Autie is cooking up a heap of homemade goodness. MKD’s conversations always include a cup of positivity a dash of inspiration and a big dollop of hope as she welcyums guests who are movers, shakers and change makers with a promise to remind us all that…


There’s always time for KINDNESS!
