brushing your wig in the green room [01.04] Bonnie Violet
“zander” talks to The Universe in the form of “Bonnie Violet” (she/her). After going into Bonnie's firsthand experiences with being diagnosed with HIV while a part of a church, we discuss using language to refer to the ineffable essence of "God" and the Art of Drag and its relation to spirituality.
Bonnie Violet is a trans femme genderqueer spiritual drag artist, identity doula and digital chaplain. YouTuber, Twitcher & Host of a queer chaplain podcast with such series as Drag & Spirituality, TranSpirit & Faith Leaders. Co-host of Splintered Grace with her conservative christian aunt & At the CCC recovery podcast. Creator & Director of the first Drag & Spirituality Summit to take place in October 2022
"Spirituality is what lifts me into who I am. From my earrings, to my tattoos, to my effeminate way and masculine moments. My desire is to make individual spiritual connections accessible to those who have previously felt, were told and previously denied."
Bonnie Violet shares her experience of strength and hope with HIV, recovering from drugs, alcohol, and sexual assault among other things in classrooms, community centers, churches, online and pretty much anywhere they’ll let her.
As, a queer chaplain, she is present with people in death and dying to self by helping to lace one’s narrative with a spiritual thread to remind one of their resilience, strengthen faith in self and create serenity in the now.
