A really beautiful reflection by Ru on his early life and rise to fame.
Listening to this, I realized that I actually knew very little about Ru, who he is, and where he came from. I appreciate his openness and honesty throughout. I actually love that this doesn't even mention the show at all. I don't think it is the right place to share that story, anyway. The only thing I was looking forward to but am sad was missing was more details about Ru's friendship with Michelle. But I understand keeping the version of himself that hosts Drag Race separate.
I hope there's a follow-up memoir once he steps down/retires from Drag Race, honestly.
