Yvie Oddly on RuPaul, Denver Drag, and Their Black Panther Roots

In their new book, “All About Yvie: Into the Oddity,” RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 winner Yvie Oddly explains how growing up in the Mile High City as a Black queer kid played into their formation as an artist, musician, and performer.
