David does a wonderful job talking about some of the highlights of the art of drag as it has evolved over the years, calling out some stars, and how some history has been written but has also been repeated.

I will talk about my nearly 15 years of being a drag entertainer. I’ll share my story on how I got started, how my drag has evolved, and what it’s like to do drag in a hot political climate today.
