Spring is rapidly ap- proaching, and I am certainly excited for the next quarter of this amazing reign. This past month I wrapped up life as it exists in Atlanta GA, where I’ve resided for the last 13 years. I’ve had a great run in the city of Atlanta. I am truly going to miss so many loved ones, but I believe there is more out in God’s green earth for us to see, and I pray that Houston’s drag community em- braces me and life will be just as sweet.
