Raja Gemini: Making it past endless mimosas

Shut up, Chanel

Welcome back to another fabulous episode of 'Shut Up, Chanel'! In this installment, I sit with Raja, a true trailblazer and someone who's left an indelible mark on my life.

Join us as Raja and I gossip about how we met and the monumental impact she's had on my journey. She's not just my drag mother – she's the visionary behind the iconic tagline 'Shut Up Chanel,' a phrase that's become a mantra of empowerment for me.

From the moment I first laid eyes on Raja on Drag Race, I was starstruck. She embodied everything I aspired to be – cool, confident, and unapologetically herself. Our conversation takes us through my introduction to West Hollywood night life and the drag world elite.

Discover how Raja has mentored me, teaching me the ropes of drag beyond endless mimosa brunches.

Together, we share candid discussions about loss, including the profound impact of losing our fathers. And as we explore the deep, transformative power of drag, from the moment Raja rose to fame on RuPaul's Drag Race to its lasting influence on the world stage, we also reflect on the essence of drag as an art form that's more than skin-deep.
