Jun 18, 2024•26 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
RuPaul’s Drag Race has rocketed many drag performers from primetime TV to international stardom — including multiple queens from right here in Denver. In their new book, “All About Yvie: Into the Oddity,” RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 winner Yvie Oddly explains how growing up in the Mile High City as a Black queer kid played into their formation as an artist, musician, and performer.
Yvie will be appearing at the Tattered Cover to talk about their new book this Thursday, June 20; (it’s currently sold out, but check back for openings!)
