this platform is allowing us to to be

0:03

0:07

that okay the language you speak there

0:09

are people on stage performing in the

0:13

same language and speak the same

0:14

language if you’re taking two cultures

0:15

you’re mixing it and you’re doing it the

0:17

right way it’s beautiful

[Music]

0:32

[Music]

0:39

uh my style of track to the people uh in

0:42

canada so i’m very excited about it it’s

0:44

just an amazing opportunity for

0:47

drag artists to get onto a platform in

0:51

front of you know a big audience or

0:54

an audience that is you know mainly

0:56

brown people you know what i mean so

0:57

it’s especially where i where i come

0:59

from like dancing

1:01

drag is like not allowed

1:03

i think getting onto this platform is

1:05

definitely gonna open a lot of doors

1:06

especially because this is a bollywood

1:08

thing and no one has seen sanjayana

1:10

dance yet what i like about bollywood is

1:13

that it brings the color my my latino

1:15

spice and it just brings me joy it

1:17

brings me happiness so i think i want to

1:20

project that to our viewers i’m very

1:22

glad that i’m i’m part of uh that moment

1:26

where you know if a brown kid comes to a

1:29

club they can see you know uh people uh

1:32

performing in like uh in gay clubs and

1:35

see that okay the language you speak

1:38

there are people on stage performing in

1:42

the same language and speak the same

1:43

language with the monster mashup

1:46

team the communication is very easy they

1:48

are very friendly people because of our

1:51

heritage we haven’t had that i guess

1:53

voice or moment and finally this

1:55

platform is allowing us to to be able to

1:58

have a voice to say that we are here and

2:00

we are here to stay it was really hard

2:02

for me to

2:03

express myself so when i found sanjina

2:06

it was um

2:08

she saved me from a bunch of stuff so it

2:10

was it was a very beautiful process for

2:12

me and i’m really happy i found sangina

2:15

because if it wasn’t for her i don’t

2:18

think i would be here you know what i

2:19

mean so

2:20

i

2:21

i absolutely

2:22

love her so dance drag

2:25

is like my everything my two like

2:27

literally like they’re just like my

2:28

everything

2:30

[Music]

2:49

i think it’s very important to represent

2:51

our community because my salvation

2:53

community my latino community we have

2:55

shared similar experience i think we can

2:58

say that we haven’t been able to be i

3:00

guess privileged or fulfilled that dream

3:03

of being fully equally inclusive

3:07

and equal so i think that we share that

3:10

and we

3:11

bringing those cultures together we we

3:14

kind of like fight for it and show the

3:16

world that we are here i just started a

3:19

year ago and

3:20

it’s been very hard for me to

3:23

move

3:24

my professional life into drag

3:26

and i’m so thankful for her because

3:30

because i’ve been able to be me and

3:32

follow follow my dreams it took me a

3:34

long time to love myself it took me a

3:37

long long long time to even know who i

3:40

am

3:41

and it’s hard that process is very hard

3:43

i’m glad that you know people are taking

3:46

it you know to a next step and making

3:48

sure that this style this type of drag

3:51

you know this type of performances

3:54

are visible to the audience and you know

3:56

making us like people from south asian

3:58

background much more much more visible

4:01

if you’re taking two cultures you’re

4:02

mixing it and you’re doing it the right

4:03

way

4:04

it should i think it’s it’s beautiful

4:06

let’s just listen to music and you know

4:08

let your body move to that music if you

4:11

can do that you know if you can you know

4:13

uh dissolve yourself in the beats of

4:16

music you’ll be a very happy person

4:18

that’s my suggestion

4:22

[Music]
