The Waves: How a Drag Queen Recreated the American Dream

On this week’s episode of The Waves, drag queens are under attack
and being labeled bad for families and kids. But RuPaul’s Drag Race
and Drag Race All Stars contestant Mrs. Kasha Davis is making
people rethink the American Dream. She sits down with Slate senior
supervising producer, Daisy Rosario to talk about the real life
inspiration for the character of Mrs. Kasha Davis, her new music
video showcasing the importance of Drag Story Hour, and why more
people need to see happy queer families like hers.  In Slate
