Everyone can feel the confidence of a drag queen on stage, but there’s more than meets the eye.
Samuel Thrower performs as Slutashia, Oregon’s drag raptress.
Samuel is a multi talented drag queen, vocalist, and rapper from Eugene, Oregon. Slutashia possesses a modern-day hip-hop aura and delivers her original rhymes with strong power and confidence. She has had the pleasure of opening up for queer artists such as God Des, Wreckno and Big Freedia.
We talk about:
-Common misconceptions about drag
