Lil Miss Hot Mess is a joy and gift to children of all ages (including adults). As the author of Lady's personal favorite book, The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish, Lil Miss Hot Mess shares stories behind the incredible books. We discuss Drag Story Hour and the importance of using our voices to speak up for the youth in our country. I feel the timing of this episode is more important than ever! Please enjoy this beautiful episode where we bring such colorful light, love and joy to the pages of Lil Miss Hot Mess' books!
