“Drag has the ability to allow folks to explore facets of themselves where they may or may not feel comfortable doing so, to really discover and tap into these pieces that are already within you. Drag is a community connection. It's joy, it's euphoria, and for me, that's excellence. Being able to live within your truth and unapologetically experience joy is excellence and drag embodies that.” - Tay Richardson, community member
