Auntie Podcast with MKD

Episode 113

Taylor Thomas inspired me the moment we met.  I felt the positivity and the desire to spread kindness not only from Taylors overall demeanor and energy but from their smile.   

I look forward to supporting Taylors initiatives not only with the book store/mutual aid pantry but I have this feeling that  there is more in store from Taylor for our community in Rochester and beyond!  

Consider me INSPIRED!

Kyla Minx and I have always had a very fiery and honest relationship and I LOVE IT!  I respect upfront and honest people and Kyla isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and tell you what she’s thinking.  We grew up in the same club/drag family at Muther’s and it’s something that I not only look back on fondly but I protect and cherish.  Kyla is my sister and I look forward to many more laughs together as we roll along entertaining and standing up for our LGBTQ+ community!

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.
