Descriptions:
In this episode, I sit down with Charlotte, NC drag sensation Lolita Chanel for a candid conversation about love in all its forms—growing up queer in the South, early relationships and hookup culture, and how she came to understand herself as asexual while still deeply romantic. We talk about the Ace spectrum and common misconceptions, the difference between performance and availability in drag and burlesque, body confidence, and the kinds of friendship and chosen-family love that can be as sustaining as romance. Lolita also shares why community care matters to her, including her work supporting the Carolina Migrant Network.
