Are ya’ll ready to get into drag?! That’s exactly what we’ll be doing in this final BONUS episode of Flirtations for Pride Month!

On the show today we have two of North Carolina’s finest drag artists and performers, Naomi Dix and Onya Nerves. We’ll hear about their personal stories of how they got into drag and what it truly means to be a drag artist.

What unfolds are beautiful conversations about what it means (and feels like!) to live in your truth, how we can embrace our authentic selves, and why allowing yourself to be seen as who you is so important. If you’ve got some questions about how any of that is possible, this episode is for you!

Regardless of how you identify, or whether you’ve ever seen a drag performance before, I encourage you to check out this episode and hear the mic drop moments for yourself!

The conversation continues on Swell with bonus clips, extended interviews, and more! After each episode, head on over to Swell and let's keep flirting!  https://www.swellcast.com/BenjaminCamras
