For me, like drag is like such a big, it's like such a huge part of me now that I want to do so many different things with it.
What happens when art becomes a lifeline? Hennessy Williams, a genderqueer drag performer, shares their compelling journey on 'A Queer Chaplain'. In a candid conversation with Bonnie Violet, Hennessy reveals how drag has been more than just an artistic outlet—it's been a form of healing and self-discovery. Growing up as a religious kid and an abuse survivor, Hennessy found solace in drag, using it to navigate their complex identities as queer and Asian American.
Their performances are not just about entertainment; they are acts of resistance and reclamation. Hennessy discusses the importance of challenging stereotypes and promoting solidarity among marginalized communities. They highlight the need for safe spaces within the drag scene and the crucial role of representation for non-binary and trans individuals. Through their work, Hennessy aims to uplift voices that often go unheard and to expand the boundaries of what drag can be.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how drag can be a powerful tool for social justice and personal empowerment.
