Drag, Self Expression & Asian Representation with Miss Shu Mai

Yellow Glitter

This episode, we're joined by Miss Shu Mai, a Taiwanese American drag queen. We delve into Miss Shu Mai's journey into drag, her dance background, and her experiences with identity and homophobia. She is a founder of the Send Noodz Party, an API-centric drag show in LA.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • coming out and finding acceptance
  • the importance of authenticity, community, and celebrating diverse experiences within the Asian American community
  • touching on influences like anime, Pokemon, and the joy of gaming and fan art
  • the significance of holding space for marginalized voices and supporting local drag scenes and cultural communities
