About this episode

"People don't talk about how hard hope is." In After the Cut, Dulcé Sloan shares the role her mother played in her becoming a comic, and how holding on to hope has been the biggest challenge throughout her career. And legendary drag performer, Sasha Colby, talks about her experience winning "RuPaul's Drag Race," how anti-drag laws are a roundabout way of criminalizing trans people, and why she wants to be an example of a happy trans woman in a media landscape that tends to focus only on trans people's trauma.
