RuPaul's Life Lessons on the Divine Feminine

"Proliferation of patriarchal culture is the biggest reason that men using femininity, or even women using femininity, is looked down upon...people are afraid of it." -RuPaul

I've been having some candid and illuminating discussions about the rejection of the Divine Feminine within feminism and broader society with my healer artist sister Jenelle of Artists Don't Apologize, and she put me on to this magical interview with RuPaul. It is everything! He talks about how the death and quelling of goddess energy, and the fear of the divine feminine, is linked to homophobia.

Aside from his astute statements about the power of the Divine Feminine, he talks how "unlocking his mind's limitations" gave birth to his characters and creative expression. His entire career, which has been quite long and sustainable in entertainment standards, is an example of the power of authenticity and trusting ourselves intuitively especially when we're doing something different from the status quo.

Ru talks about the importance of retreating and taking time for self-care, going away for a while to come back, and being present to life. He is other worldly and incredibly grounded at the same time. I'm inspired by his fearlessness and synchronicity which you must have to have longevity and maintain humility in the public eye.

Watch the interview, it speaks for itself. There's nothing left for me to say except: Ru, you betta werk!
