Today on The Girl to Find Show, I'm talking with a man named Blake Howard, who was once a drag queen,

living in that world, living in that scene, he shares how he thought it was the answer to

I'm so glad you're here. We normally don't have guys on the girl-defined show. So, you know,

a little extra special there. Yeah. But what we're going to be talking about today is something that

is a really, it's a very common topic in our society, talking about drag queens, LGBTQ issues,

the lifestyle, but today we have a unique opportunity to talk to a man, Blake, who was in that
