Show Notes
“You don't have to be the best one when you're 22 or the best one when you're 32. You don't have to be anyone's favorite. You just have to be proud of yourself for yourself.”
This week, Andy is joined by actor and singer Indigo Dai, Marlon Meikle’s drag persona, to explore gender non-conformity and our gender identities. To do so, the drag queen takes the wheel as Indigo leads Andy and all of us through an interactive writing exercise that urges us to reconnect with our inner child. Play along!
Indigo and Andy uncover the power of make-believe to create and discover our truths, rooted in the toys we played with as children.
