1st Annual Drag Show

Hello all!

So last Wednesday, PRIDE* held its 1st Annual Drag Show featuring Shangela Laquifa Wadley. As secretary of PRIDE, I am so glad that the event was so successful. During the show, we had presentations on the history of drag, drag etiquette (which went really well by the way, haha) and why drag is important today. Below are pictures from the night. My favorite is the last one. It’s my best friend Keith, co-chair of PRIDE, and that was his reaction to Shangela during part of the show. It was priceless.

I’m really glad for him though. He worked so hard for the event to be approved. We literally had two weeks to plan for it, because the event was not approved sooner than it was. But I have high hopes for next year’s show. But sadly, me and Keith will not get to experience it, because we’ll be abroad…

Yup, I officially committed to the University of York in England for the next academic year a few days ago! I can’t believe I’ll be abroad next year, I’ve never been out of the country. It’s so crazy to think about it! I’m really scared, but I think it will be a good experience for me. Of course I’ll miss Holy Cross though! It’s been a great two years here!

I have so many great memories from the past two years. Some of my favorite memories from this semester alone: being on PRIDE E-board, studying with Math Squad with a bunch of my closest friends who also decided to major in math, going to the SGA leadership awards banquet (where PRIDE won groundbreaking organization!!), going on a Spring Break Immersion Trip to Mobile, Alabama, being a model for the BSU Annual Fashion Show, going to the Half-way to Some Day Dinner for Sophomores, and performing in ExplorASIAN.

This semester has been one of my favorites so far at Holy Cross as you can probably tell. I’m really going to miss my friends though, but I know they’ll be here come senior year…and I’m thinking about all the new friends I’ll meet abroad!
