Sasha Velour is the season 9 winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race. Sasha has done many things other than perform, including graphic design, costume design, and producing various entertainment projects. One interesting thing that I learned was that she performs with a shaved head as a tribute to her mother who died of cancer. I also thought it was amazing that she had such a supportive experience with her family in regards to her drag and just her sexuality in general.
I bought the Audible version of this book. If you are interested in that, it was about a six hour listen. If you are interested in the physical copy, it was less than 300 pages, I think. I got this simply because drag has been a debate recently, and I wanted to learn more about it and support the arts. I thought it was a great combination of a memoir of Sasha Velour and history of drag. I learned a decent amount from this book that I was not expecting to learn, and I am glad I gave this a shot.

So wonderful and beautiful. For some reason I still expected a straight forward memoir but was so pleased with all the history puffed into this thing.
