Today we're excited to share our interview with Julie J, a New York-based Drag Queen who has teamed up with other queens to release an empowering new book, No Tea, No Shade: Life As a Drag Queen!

As big LGBTQ+ allies, we were thrilled to have on our first drag queen, and Julie J was equal parts inspiring, insightful, and serving LEWKS.
