Through its pages, the memoir explores how the past Drag Race winner explored and eventually discovered their identity. You’ll understand the moments and parts of their history that shaped them, while also gaining insight into the Emmy-winning reality show that helped skyrocket them to fame.
Oddly has been speaking out about their treatment on the reality Drag competition show, citing the producers as “the greediest, most-calculating, capitalist culture thieves,” on X as well as claiming the show didn’t pay them for more than a year after winning.
