Fonda Koxx: Embracing Identity Through Drag and Spirituality

Putting on this makeup and putting on this character is a way for me to celebrate all of who I am, yeah, and it's a way it's about bringing out those parts of my soul and those parts of myself that I thought god and the world wanted nothing to do with, and I shoved them into a closet.
What happens when drag, spirituality, and personal growth intersect? In this engaging episode of 'A Queer Chaplain,' Bonnie Violet sits down with Fonda Koxx, a National LGBTQIA Mental Health Advocate, actor, and comedian from Chicago. Fonda opens up about her transformative journey from shame to celebration, highlighting how drag has been a powerful tool for self-expression and healing.
She shares candidly about her experiences in the drag community, revealing how makeup and performance allow her to embrace every part of herself, even those parts once hidden in secrecy. This conversation dives deep into the role of community in healing and the importance of vulnerability in self-discovery. Fonda also discusses the evolving nature of spirituality and religion, emphasizing that connecting with a higher power can take many forms.
Through her drag persona, she challenges gender norms and finds humor in her own experiences with gender identity. If you're curious about the intersection of drag and spirituality or looking for inspiration on embracing your true self, this episode is a must-listen.
