I have to start here. A screenshot. A shot that paints the picture of what I felt as a kid glued to the tv watching the Tony Awards seeing someone who looks like me in a show I where I initially didn’t see black people in. Evolution happened and when it came, I was ready because I worked my ass off as everything aligned itself for me to have this moment. Little Dwayne seeing himself on this screenshot at Tony Awards is my own celebration of the dream that came true. This is the shot that expresses my fullest joy and thanks for EVERYONE who made this dream come true. My family, my friends, my SC family, my extended family, my neighbors, the producers, investors, the creatives, those who advocated for me to be on that stage and ALL who support me, love me and want to see me shine and win. We won ya’ll and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Me and The Lady Chablis:
I’ve been very fortunate to work for and alongside pioneering Icons, be around some of the biggest stars in the world, and have extended family members in my life that have shaped African-American and LGBTQIA culture.
The Lady Chablis was a trailblazer in the trans and LGBTQIA community and be household name famous for her portrayal of herself in John Berendt’s famous book and movie “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil”
Though I didnt fully realize it at the time, she was a “Fairy Drag Godmother” to me. She loaned me one of her dresses for a pageant and lucky for me, I won the pageant. She paved the way for me to exist and thrive as a baby drag performer in Columbia, SC.
I still have a pair of her earrings in my possession that only krazy clue can keep on my ears. Pageant girls know about this life. Haha.
I wish I had gotten to spend more one on one time with her. I definitely was Cinderella at the ball and can’t recall another pageant feeling as beautiful as I did that night.
Thank you The Lady Chablis…
As you famously would say, “Two tears in a bucket, m@therfcuk it.”😉🤣❤️⭐️💯💐
