It's easy to put Arkansas in the nook, however baby do not do it. During the Dec. 3 livestream saying the cast, Maddy said about her home state, "The drag in Arkansas is really amazing. There is so much diversity and different styles of drag." Unfortunately, the manner of drag preferred there is pageant-centric, and Maddy says she's "not much of a pageant queen." Drag Race is a huge opportunity for Maddy, who typically drives three hours to earn just $40 and a few drink tickets to perform.
In a Dec. 5 Instagram post, Maddy went into more element about what drag supposed to her, saying she discovered it was once a secure area to explore her gender identity. "The people I met, and the experiences I had, helped me understand more about gender and sexuality, what it meant to be me, and where I fit in with everything."
Even as a straight male, Maddy says that she's all the time felt welcome within the drag group, but has seen other performers discriminated towards. She says that the best factor to pop out of her casting are the conversations which are going down around illustration in drag. She hopes that her involvement in Drag Race will "lead to more marginalized groups being showcased and represented."
