About this episode
Sasha Velour won RuPaul's Drag Race with her spectacular rose-petal lip sync . She wrote and illustrated The Big Reveal: An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag , drew a New Yorker cover, and sells out almost every show of her New York revue, NightGowns . So why is she taking her act down to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Bartlesville, Oklahoma? We talk to Velour about this season of her HBO reality show, We're Here . At a moment when drag is both beloved and reviled, a powerful cultural force and a target, we ask Velour what exactly she's looking for in those places, and what essential truth about drag is hidden in the show's title.
