[Spoken Interlude]
I think I was interested in drag the moment it was introduced to me
I remember being twelve years old and not being able to sleep
In the middle of my mundane channel surf, RuPaul's Drag Race caught my attention
With its bright colors and RuPaul's cackle
I wasn't sure what I was watching, but I knew I was intrigued, empowered
Everything that that word represents is how drag makes me feel
Also a little sexy, too
Advice I would give to young Black kids when it comes to exprеssing their identity is just do it
And do it wholehеartedly
Don't allow others to make you feel other
You already know that, unfortunately, your skin makes you stand out
So why not just lean into that
And lean into what makes you an individual, and stand out?
