I sit down with Kylie Sonique Love, and discuss her process of becoming her own identity, how she dealt with bullying, her young life as an Atlanta queen and her own spirituality.
You will be even further endeared to Kylie’s genuine spirit as she shares advice for youth, drag hopefuls and gives us insight into the self-love journey of her latest song: “Complete Me”
