My therapist said to me once, you know,
Ru, the power you have in drag is
available to you out of drag.
Exsqueeze me?
For years, I've said you're born naked, and the rest is drag,
meaning everything you put on is, in essence,
something that was built. And once you're
able to see yourself from outside of yourself,
that's when the party begins.
In this MasterClass, I'm going to teach you about self-love,
confidence, joy, lips, foundation, wigs, chiffon--
everything it takes to unleash the magic that makes you you.
What you're going to see is Raven show you, step
by step, what it takes to get into real, glamazon drag.
Drag doesn't change who you are.
It actually reveals who you are.
My childhood was very tumultuous and traumatic.
My parents were always at war.
So my thinking was, this is all too much for me.
Just wake me when it's done.
Until I realized, you know, I want to be present for my life.
And it forced me to understand my own value.
Everything starts with know thyself.
Know what works with you.
You have to be present enough to know what feels right.
In drag, I feel so powerful.
It is your life's work to shine.
There is strength and power in you, but it's up to you
to realize it.
You were not born to fit in.
You were born to stand out.
I'm RuPaul, and this is my MasterClass.
