RuPaul, Emmy-Winning Host, Performer, and Drag Icon Has Been in Recovery From Alcohol and Drugs For Over 20+years

Rupaul Teaches Self-Expression and Authenticity course on MasterClass

Did you know for as little as $15 a month (*billed annually), you can access a huge content library on MasterClass of thousands of lessons from the best in the biz as they share their stories, skills, shortcuts, failures, and successes. If you drank as I did, then you know you could spend that amount on a drink that lasted less than 15 minutes.

2020 has been serving up lemons all year and this global pandemic has given us all more time back into our days. Why not use that time to better yourself and feed your inner drag queen soul? Isn’t that why you got sober, to begin with?

Transformation

RuPaul has transformed the drag subculture into a mainstream phenomenon with devoted fans across the world. Now the Emmy-winning host, performer, and drag icon is sharing an intimate look at his personal journey to self-realization in this hit MasterClass series that teaches self-expression and authenticity. My jaw hit the ground when I was halfway through this series and learned he was over 20+ sober. How did I not already know this?

My jaw hit the ground when I was half way through this series and learned he was over 20+ sober. How did I not already know this?

From finding your inner truth to owning the room, RuPaul teaches you how to present your best self to the world. The MasterClass description points out that it’s your life’s work to shine—and in this course, RuPaul will show you how. Pro Tip: If you watch his series all of the ways through, you’ll even learn some make-up tips that might just come in handy for your next zoom party.
