Born Christian, Rest is all Maya : A Drag queens decade long journey with Faith and Drag

In the third episode of Drag Me to Heaven, I sit down with Maya the Drag Queen, a trailblazing pioneer of Indian drag whose journey beautifully intertwines with their Christian faith. Maya shares how their drag persona is often misinterpreted as embodying different faith imagery, overshadowing their identity as a person of Christian belief. We explore the challenges they’ve faced in reconciling their spirituality with their gender expression and sexuality, and how they’ve grown into a deeply spiritual artist. Discover how Maya has turned drag into a powerful tool for storytelling, breaking biases, and embracing authenticity.
