Hawaii Drag Queen Story Hour. Is it a safe place to challenge our assumptions regarding Drag?

from Empathetic Witness

Drag Queen performers bring both fun and controversy on the beautiful island of Oahu,   reading to children at a local community event. Listen to the beautiful gift from the Honolulu community that has renewed Dan’s belief in humanity. I was very happy to interview the performance artist that caused this disruption in Hawaii, in May 2023. Dan Paul Roberts is an artist originally from Texas. Dan created Candi Shell. Candi Shell is a gorgeous and hilarious singing drag queen in Honolulu, Hawaii. Candi is a comedienne who creates her own original music and song parodies as well.  As a child, I would’ve been ecstatic to have a drag queen read me children's stories. How fun it would be! Imagine the animation in the storytelling by these performers, it surely adds to the wild imagination of children. An experience to be enjoyed by young and old. I am proud to call Dan my friend. It was such a pleasure to interview him. Please enjoy our conversation! www.candishell.com https://instagram.com/misscandishell?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
