This week, Britney Shields is joined by radiant powerhouse Queen Porshaa Lejayy for a conversation about faith, hustle, and taking up space with intention.

Porshaa shares her journey into drag, from discovering the art form to receiving early support from her coworkers at Bloomingdale’s, who saw the star before the spotlight did. She reflects on the encouragement from Billy Francesca to join season one of Dragged Out, a leap that helped cement her presence in the scene.

We talk about the importance of Black queens claiming and expanding space in West Hollywood, and Porshaa proudly uplifts the movement while promoting her own growing slate of events: Porshaa’s Porch at Beaches and Brunch with the Divas at Micky’s. 

Porshaa opens up about a new spiritual practice she’s embraced, reclaiming God for the gay and queer community in a way that feels affirming rather than alienating. It’s a powerful reframing rooted in healing, intention, and ownership of faith. She also gives her flowers to the queens who’ve poured into her journey, including Kornbread Jeté, June Jambalaya, and Calypso Jeté-Balmain.

Then we get into the It Girls of the Moment:

·      Teyana Taylor, simply for staying winning

·      Rob Rausch clinching the win on The Traitors

·      Connor Storrie’s SNL debut buzz and Gym Bar WeHo organizing a live viewing party

In our Niche Girl spiral, we unpack:

·      The internet conspiracy that Jim Carrey has been cloned and replaced — and how the rise of AI images is eroding public trust in reality itself

·      The motivational spiritual accounts Porshaa follows, including Charlie Rocket and Sarah Jakes Roberts

·      The debut of Pokémon Generation 10 starters and the queer-friendly gaming commentary from Jahara Jade and Shaun, offering expressive, feminine takes that actually resonate

We also vent about the chaos of media mergers and the absurd difficulty of tracking where to stream RuPaul's Drag Racewhen it keeps hopping platforms — especially when it’s all owned by the same corporate umbrella anyway.

It’s faith, flowers, fandom, and fighting for visibility, all from a queen who understands that building your own porch means inviting the whole community to sit.
