🔥 What would Rockell do? 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲, 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬—𝐊𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑.

Drag legend 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐥𝐮 (18-year drag veteran, 30-year professional dancer, and Tampa’s most unapologetic truth-teller) storms the Skittle Squad stage with stories that’ll make you laugh, gasp, and stand the hell up.

In this exuberantly inspiring episode, Rockell reveals:

🎤 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 (including her iconic Miss St. Pete Pride shoe malfunction—"I gave ’em MC Hammer realness!")

💃 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 "𝐑𝐮𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥’𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞" (and how Tampa’s scene can unite beyond pageants vs. monsters)

🌪️ 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞 (losing every photo of her mother—but never her grit)

🎭 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 (from topless show awkwardness to Sesame Street Live’s ramen-noodle budget struggles)

🌈 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚’𝐬 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐+ 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 ("Baby, if the bars won’t book us all, we’ll build our OWN stages!")

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧?

Rockell’s journey—from a Black gay kid in Mississippi to a Las Vegas showgirl, choreographer, and community lifeline—is a masterclass in turning "no’s" into "hell yes". Whether you’re a drag fanatic, a fellow artist, or just need proof that queer joy is unbreakable, this episode will leave you fired up, cackling, and ready to death-drop your doubts.
