Bonnie Violet: Embracing Healing and Ministry Through Drag and Spirituality
Spirituality is what lifts me into who I am. From my earrings, to my tattoos, to my effeminate way and masculine moments.
Bonnie Violet's life is a tapestry woven with threads of resilience, faith, and transformation. Growing up in rural Idaho, Bonnie's early experiences with church were far from inclusive. She faced the challenges of addiction and an HIV diagnosis, yet her journey didn't stop there. Moving to Chicago and finding a community at Urban Village Church was a turning point. It was here that Bonnie found acceptance and began to heal as a queer person living with HIV.
In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie opens up about her journey with a raw and heartfelt honesty. As a queer chaplain and drag artist, she uses her unique platform to guide others through their own spiritual and healing journeys. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of creating safe spaces where marginalized communities can find solace and support.
Whether you're grappling with your own spirituality, dealing with addiction, or simply seeking inspiration, Bonnie's story offers a beacon of hope. Her work exemplifies how embracing one's true self can lead to profound healing and ministry.
