A Quote by Willam Belli
Drag was always looked at as a stepchild, and I wasn't willing to sit at the kid's table anymore so I took what's mine. You can't depend on other people to give you what you want; you have to take it.

Now, metaphorically, I sit at any table that I want. I can sit with the jocks, I can sit with the gang members, I can sit with the politicians, I can sit with the CEOs. My brand can fit anywhere.
In such a fast-paced world, gathering people around a table to share a meal allows everything to slow down.

It seems like a small thing, but it can bring so much joy to so many people.

Everything I give, pretty much, is public. Not every donor wants to - or is willing to get the kind of abuse and attacks that we do, or death threats, so they're not willing to have their names out.
