Ever wonder where my confidence and creativity really come from? It’s more than just a vibe, it’s a whole journey shaped by queer culture, ballroom, and the legendary RuPaul. In this episode, I share how discovering RuPaul at 15 during my own queer identity struggles gave me a safe space to express myself and embrace my uniqueness.

What you’ll hear about:

• ​Finding RuPaul during a tough time of self-discovery
• ​How ballroom culture and drag created a sanctuary for my creativity
• ​The power of glitz and glamour to validate feeling “weird” in school
• ​Why drag is more than just performance, it’s a superpower you can live every day
• ​How this journey built confidence that goes beyond the pageant stage

Confidence isn’t born, it’s crafted, one fierce step at a time. Keep owning your space, queen. Catch you next time on Pageantry Redefined.
