WHAT PEOPLE SAY

This helped me feel a greater sense of freedom, self-acceptance, and connection to the community.
EMPOWERING!!!
Drag performance in the community was amazing
I’m now walking confidently. I clearly discovered my own drag
SO COOL!
The outcomes were self-acceptance, desire to participate more in similar events and develop creativity

Masha and her team have run drag workshops twice at our LGBTQ+ group in Brighton which is a group for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees. The sessions were enormous fun and lifted the emotional wellbeing of the group. The facilitators were sensitive to the needs of the Group and the trauma carried by a lot of its members. The feedback from the Group was very positive on each occasion.
