Sasha Velour is serving queer history teacher in her new book (and this interview) | Here & Queer

Sasha Velour, author of The Big Reveal and iconic Drag Race Season 9 winner, is interviewed by Peter Knegt to kick off the second season of our talk show, Here & Queer.
Sasha speaks about the history of Drag, the real story behind Stonewall, her love for Sasha Colby, and what she thinks of those aggressively fighting back against the word "queer."

The rose petals on the floor! The roses on the shirt! I love the subtle nod to the finale! Very artful :)

The themes discussed here are a side of drag/queer culture that the opposing side is oblivious to, perhaps what they need more of to understand why 'we gotta be us' a little better. Werk Sasha! What a deep and articulate conversation, thank you. And I'll be checking out the book, I'm intrigued. Happy Pride! 💗✨
