The three queens will go to small towns to raise awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ population. In addition to hosting the show We’re Here, D.J. Shangela Pierce performs drag. Halloo is a famous phrase she uses. Shangela has participated in several drag performances that combine faultless performances with comic elements.
The queens will reportedly enlist a “diverse group” of residents from Texas, Utah, Florida, Mississippi, and New Jersey, according to the official synopsis of We’re Here. These people will share their stories as part of “one-night-only drag performances” to spread awareness and promote acceptance in their community.
The summary continues:
Even in the face of escalating intolerance and laws discriminating against LGBTQ+ people, the queens in each town give their “drag daughters” the freedom to be who they are in front of their family, friends, and neighbors.
We’re Here co-host and musician Shangela has given performances on five of the world’s six continents.
