Trinity The Tuck is VERY honest—and it’s exactly w...

Ryan and Yvie are live in the studio hosting Naomi Smalls. These three walk down memory lane talking all things RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8, Naomi’s distaste for authority and how she’s unlocking her fullest potential in this next stage of her life.
