Lil Miss Hot Mess (Make Your Own Rainbow: A Drag Queen's Guide to Color) shares what is giving her hope today: drag. Drag is all about changing how we look and how we show up in the world as a way of making the world more fabulous and more just and joyful for everyone in it. This is a new miniseries of indefinite length in which I invite my friends from the kidlit community to share what is giving them hope today.
