She's ready to pray to the gay to stay with our beautiful trans god and slay the runway by night! With the mix of traditional Jewish garb such as a yamaka, tallis, tzit tizit, and leather work, rope and knot work, Layah is infused with cultural ties (pun intended) to how religion and kink work together. Layah wants to build reclamation of suxual autonomy and spiritual submission into power and look damn hot while doing it. "I want to both connect with other spiritual drag artists and queers who might not have a positive relationship to spirituality. I want my art to speak to how these things are intertwined. I want my clothes to bring awareness to injustice and inspire change. The world of kink for me a Judaism has so much overlap and cultural ties to it. I want to create conversations around how gender diversity, Judaism, and drag are not only parts of my identity but indigenous to my culture and religion." - Layah Louder 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/layahlouder/ 💠 Venmo @Cohen-kraus-2 🎬 Hosted by B0NNi33 Vi0L3T (Bonnie Violet) @aqueerchaplain 🌐 https://www.aqueerchaplain.org 💛 https://www.patreon.com/bonnieviolet 💠 sibling channels @dragspiritualitysummit @splinteredgrace @transpirit @dragandspirituality #jewish #dragqueen #podcast #kinky #godex #drag #spirituality #yamaka, #tallis #tzittizit #judaism #ropework #knotwork #leather #praythegay #suxual #️⃣#️⃣#️⃣

⚪️ Annie Depressant (she her) is one of the co winners of BNDS season 2, and was the first afab contestant and winner. She’s also a former Miss Boise Pride. And she is now performing in Seattle! She’s always used her platform to uplift others and bring joy to many! She’s a bubble gum princess pill everyone’s dying to swallow! Annie grew up going to catholic school and while she never felt free to be herself until later in life because of the church she met her best friend and fellow Boise queen Hazel. After some painful experiences from the school/church and the loss of her father she left the church when she graduated. She still uses a lot of references and iconography from her previous faith but now sits somewhere between agnostic and a sprinkle of paganism. At the end of the day inner peace as being kind to others is what she values most.

I am Jazmyn J (she/they), originally from the Philippines and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 and been living in Coeur d’Alene since 2019. I started performing in drag in December 2019 after watching an amateur Halloween drag show in Spokane, WA. I was so inspired by this group of talented and creative drag performers. When then Covid pandemic happened, it didn’t stop me from improving my craft and skills, especially makeup. I became more active on Social Media (TikTok, IG, FB, etc) to reach a wider audience and to entertain, educate, and inspire everyone. I perform live mostly in the inland Pacific Northwest area (including Central & Eastern WA, Panhandle area of Idaho). I hope to continue being one of the most in-demand drag performers in Idaho. #ProtectDrag

Faeryl Sweet as a performer is a mixed bag of fever dream manic pixie dream thing, and nerd culture. Raised in the Mormon church in a small, primarily Christian town in Treasure Valley. They've experienced a myriad of flavors when it comes to prejudice and misconceptions, as well as a compulsory-heterosexual marriage, coming out to themself (and others), divorce and many other things on their journey to where they sit now spiritually: features of gnosticism and agnosticism alike, a dash of that Christian upbringing, and a healthy dose of paganism and witchcraft.

Panelist : Revel 

"revel dreams of a world where the fullest embodiment of self is inherent. they seek to invite others to meet themselves where ever they are. as a disabled and mad massage therapist, death and grief doula, transition support coordinator, lover, world builder, super model, vulture, storyteller, medium, medicine maker, they are a continuous student of the many ancestral modalities that can bring us closer to ourselves. flux believes that leaning into multiplicity and the shifting nuance that is being is absolutely overwhelming and a deep practice of surrender and liberation. revel identifies as alive and lives from the pronouns we, they, and flux. they are Black, decedent of stolen african bodies, matrilineally italian, and decedent from white colonial settlers."

Panelist : Rev. Diana Wheeler, AKA Rev. Anita Prayer, is the Founding Magistra of the Companions of Dorothy the Worker, dedicated to accompanying & advocating for the LGBTQ+ community outside & inside the church.

Flamy Grant - Bible Belt Baby

Flamy Grant (she/her or they/them) is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying heathen with Appalachian roots who now calls San Diego home. This singing/songwriting drag queen time traveled from a 90s Lilith Fair tour to the present day, bringing with her a roots-rock sound influenced by gospel and Americana. Flamy’s debut album Bible Belt Baby just dropped on September 23, and it features collaborations with Semler, Jennifer Knapp, Derek Webb, and more. Her music shines a spotlight on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma. With a bold lip and a big lash, Flamy is here to rewrite the rules when it comes to religious music, as her songs demand a reckoning for an industry that has for too long silenced and shut out its LGBTQ+ artists and fans. Flamy is also the founder and co-host of Heathen Podcast, a show about breaking up with bad religion.

As a cisgender, male-identified, white, gay person born into two dominant religions (America and Christianity), I engage the art of drag to help heal the wounds of toxic masculinity and misogyny upon my body and spirit while also transgressing patriarchal, sexist notions of God that bring harm to queer people. Drag is a new form of spirituality for me and I have found it so far to be liberating. It has also allowed me, as a religious leader, to hold space with folx who have been traumatized by purveyors of toxic religion.

PANELIST: Coco Sho-Nell was born in a small town outside of Gary, Indiana. And that town was called Chicago! Coco has been in existence for 13 years but as a theatre actor she has been performing for over 20 years. Coco is a theatre camp queen through and through. Coco is current cast member on season 4 of Camp Wannakiki on OUTtv. She also has been fortunate to have worked with some great Theatre companies in the Chicagoland area. Most notable are Theo Ubique, Fox Valley Repertory, Northlight, Red Tape Theatre and Hell in a Handbag Productions, just to names a few. Most recently Coco was named runner up as Chicago reader's best drag entertainer of 2020 and was named the grand Marshall for the Buffalo Grove pride parade in 2022

PANELIST: "Nancy Nogood is what you get if Pussy Riot headlined the Grand Ol Opry. Born out of a mind corrupted by downtown Manhattan, she's appeared on stages and screens across the country with her signature blend of drag and performance art. Nancy is the product of Philip Calabro, a queer artist born and raised as a Roman Catholic in the American South. He was going to be a priest but, meh. Here we are now. "

PANELIST:

Juan Pablo Herrera

Logistics Committee Chair
Chicago, IL
he/him

Juan Pablo is Pastor of Discipleship at Urban Village Church. He is currently imagining a new faith community that is bold, inclusive, and relevant but centered around Latinx voices as part of his work at Urban Village.

"I like to call myself the Sarcastic Show-Ghoul of Savannah. I enjoy treading the line of femininity and masculinity and then turning that line into a squiggly. The spiritual practice I have in place for myself is a mix of Pantheism and Wicca ideals. As a young queer I had some pretty not great experiences with Christian youth group and bullying which was justified under the guise of religion. Spirituality hasn’t been something important to me up until recently but learning about/ discussing different religious practices and spirituality sounds very intriguing, especially doing so with the dolls!!"

"As a non-binary performer who is transitioning later in life. I find this experience to be incredibly spiritual and enlightening. My gender identity presented itself back in 2015, and after fighting against it due to social norms and societal pressure, I surrendered and it changed my life."

👑 Dragon King                  🔗 https://linktr.ee/thedragonking
"I've been a trans enby drag king for almost three years now. I sometimes do talks at high schools focusing on topics like how to do drag, what being a neurodivergent performer is like and how you can thrive doing it, and the intersectionality between trans rights and reproductive rights. Im also a scare actor at the Terror Vault."

"San Francisco based Drag Entertainer, Hostess, show producer and wig artist. Current reigning Grand Duchess of San Francisco, Miss Castro Country Club 2020, and California Gold 2020. Sober queen in recovery 4 years and counting. She grew up in Christian household but has since left those ideals for a spiritual practice rooted in 12 step recovery and generally reflecting what she would like to see in the world around her."

‘Drag & Spirituality’ part deux!! Join a multi-faith international conversation featuring Mango Lassi, Coco Sho-Nell, LoUis CYfer, and hostess, B0NNi33 Vi0L3T. Tune in live @aqueerchaplain on YouTube, Facebook or Twitch!

Humza A. Mian aka Mango Lassi is a queer Canadian-Pakistani who currently resides in the GTA. He is a Registered Veterinary Technician who works in the downtown core, and a drag queen who got his start on social media. The focus of his drag is to bring awareness to the existence of queer Desi folk and breaking the chains of toxic masculinity that hold so many queer Desi’s back from expressing themselves. With the help of brands run primarily by PoC, Humza has branched into the world of commercial makeup artistry and is currently focusing on representing brands that encourage diversity and inclusion. His most current drag looks can be seen on his Instagram page (@_humzer) and are heavily influenced by his cultural background.

Coco Sho-Nell has been in existence for over 12 years. She began her start in Andersonville performing in charity shows at the call bar. Raymond, the man behind the mascara, has been a practicing buddhist since 2004. A lot of my faith is based on acceptance and love of everyone.

Willa/Tony is originally from Mexico City, and lived in Mexico until the age of 18. Tony was raised in a bicultural, bilingual household, as a Mexican-American. Tony grew up in a syncretic faith experience which brought together Catholicism, Native Indigenous practices, African/Caribbean/African Diaspora religious practices, as well as South Asian and East Asian practices and philosophies. Tony brings their bicultural experience and their queer identity together with a rediscovery of their faith, asking: how to maintain and develop cultural practice and tradition while decolonizing spirituality and challenging the White Supremacy that informed it? Tony's drag identity and aesthetic, Willa Vawisp, is inspired in part by their grandmother, a leader in their family faith practice and a truly powerful and fabulous woman.

Tony/Willa describes their faith experience as a discovery and will likely always be growing their faith, lest their father and grandmother come visit and whip them into shape.

Series Description

Drag & Spirituality : Named & Known, a conversation about Drag & Spirituality with hostess B0NNi33 Vi0L3T, a queer chaplain sponsored by Urban Village Church Chicago with Saya Naomi, Mick Douch, Stargirl, Fonda Koxx, Willa Vawisp & Milani.
