Heather Hester talks with Maxxie LaWow about how COVID lockdown sparked creative self-reflection. They discuss elevating and normalizing the LGBTQ community through drag performance and visibility.

Funny, when the world locked down and it was crazy outside and crazy stressful inside, I had more time for self-reflection and looking out for various kinds of inspiration.
Interesting how oftentimes these fabulous ideas come from just incredible struggles and shift your life in a way that you would never have seen. Elevating the LGBTQ community in a way that is like, "Hey, this isn't scary. We're nothing to be afraid of." Everyone who's afraid, right? Elevating. There is an audience out there, and I think that just because the audience isn't loud doesn't mean it's not there.
