RuPaul’s Sobriety Helps Him Stay Grounded

AND RELEVANT –

March 9, 2024 – The Emmy-winning host and executive producer of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and author of a new memoir, ‘The House of Hidden Meanings,’ says, “the truth was always there, no matter how high I got”He adds that his spirituality has helped him stay grounded. “Through meditation and prayer, I have found that middle ground.” It’s also where he finds truth: The truth about his childhood, his relationships, his identity.

“Don’t take life too seriously.” His drama teacher in his San Diego high school gave him that lesson. “You’re born naked and the rest is drag.” This was passed down to him in the 80s, when he was getting his professional start as a club performer in Atlanta, via a drag queen named Lakesha Lucky.

“You’re too goddamn sensitive and reminisce too much.” He got that one from his late mother, who died in 1993 and whom the neighborhood kids called “Mean Miss Charles.”

“I learned she was actually telling on herself,” RuPaul says. “But I’ve learned how to use it as a blessing rather than a curse because that sensitivity shaped my intuition and my instinct.” He adds, “The reminiscing, that I could probably do without.”
