  • Field Day with the Slay Queens

    P.H. Dee and Jess Marshall, two former educators, are here to school the children. One's a queen, the other's a fan, and both want to shed light on the drag scene in the flyover states. 

    On the syllabus today, we welcome two visiting lecturers, Wayne and Ashley to participate in some of our favorite segments and games. These two Slay Queens host an awesome podcast out of Cincinnati that may not be about drag, but they help us school the children nonetheless.
