On today's episode, we’re talking drag, drag queens and the families they make. We are honored to welcome to the #TIMFShow microphone, one of the most famous drag queens in the world...star of RuPaul's Drag Race and more...LATRICE ROYALE!
In this episode, Latrice talks about growing up in Compton, loving her mother deeply, being forced out of the closet at a young age and running away to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which wasn't the most accepting place for young queer folks. She goes on to make her way down to Miami, spends a brief stint in jail and, on the other side, becomes a world famous drag queen.
Latrice has done interviews all over the globe, but today, we shift the spotlight to include not only Latrice in all of her fabulousness, but also the people and communities she's called "family" over the years. Join us for a series of funny and moving stories about how she shaped them and how they shaped her.

To start us off, we hear from our host Tyler Greene and his husband Ziwu Zhou. Two gay men reared in two distinct cultures, who married and navigated the challenges of family acceptance and eventually...having a baby. Their story is just ONE of the endless ways of creating “family.” And that’s what we want to share with you.

Shereen Marisol Meraji
In this episode, Tyler speaks with Shereen Marisol Meraji, co-host extraordinaire of NPR's "Code Switch."
Shereen was born into an Iranian and Puerto Rican household. We discuss how her parents' relationship to their respective cultures shaped the ways in which she and her brother formed their identities. We also talk about her powerful bond with her father, despite not knowing as much as she'd like about his culture.
Since getting married four years ago, Shereen has been focused on growing a family of her own. More specifically, she's embarked on a difficult and emotional journey with fertility and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). We learn about how the process has been for her, as well as her hopes and dreams for her future family.
Thank you Shereen, for your transparency, strength and kindness in sharing your story.
