Laganja Estranja, you probably know her from Season 6 of Rue
Paul's Drag Race. Well, behind every fierce queen's face, is an
even a badass boy! For those of you who may not know, Laganja
Estranga or Jay Evan Jackson is an American choreographer and
drag queen based in Los Angeles, California.

I personally never watched more than season 1 of Rue Paul's Drag
Race, but I did know of Laganja from I guess word of mouth.
Nevertheless, I was very excited to have her tell her story on
the show.

As with any guest who comes on LGBT Stories that has some sort of
notoriety or fame, I'm not looking for stories of glitz and glam.
I want the guest to go to a more intimate place with us. I love
it when the guest finishes up their stories and tell me how "that
was the best thing they have ever done" for themselves. There is
something very powerful about sharing our true authentic self
with others! I am blessed to be able to provide a space where my
guest can experience this.

Ok, back to Laganja! She starts her story off by telling us about
the boy who started it all, little Jay. From sports to ballet as
a young kid, to preforming drag professionally, releasing new
music this year, stepping away from all things Drag Race, and
struggling with alcoholism, Jay, or, Laganja is a force to be
reckoned with!
