D.J. ‘Shangela’ Pierce on Supporting the Drag Community in Times of Crisis

D.J. Pierce, who is best known by his drag-queen persona, Shangela, recently spoke to TIME from his grandmother’s house in Paris, Texas where he’s been keeping busy during quarantine.

Many in-person Pride events have been cancelled this year.
