Hello Rebel Readers,
In this powerful first episode, host Cheryl Briggs sits down with the incredible Jeza Belle—drag queen, comedian, producer, and award-winning author—for a raw, unfiltered conversation on faith, fiction, and fierce truths.
From laugh-out-loud cocktails in The Harlot’s Guide to Classy Cocktails, to her groundbreaking devotional Jeza’s Jesus Juice, to her acclaimed historical fiction series The Presence Collection—including her newest release Abomination: The Story of David & Jonathan—Jeza’s storytelling is bold, fearless, and transformative.
What you’ll hear:
The intersection of drag, comedy, and faith
The inspiration (and controversy) behind her devotional
Why queer-centered historical fiction matters
The power of art that refuses to stay silent
