PRESS:
The 12-episode series shows the grittier side of drag and follows around some of the biggest names in Manhattan nightlife.
Shade feels like a perfectly-timed series that will help showcase the stories of struggle the LGBTQ community faces in the hands of the current White House administration.
Drag queens are giving us a peek into their personal lives.
Marti Gould Cummings tests his skills as a parent by reading a book to a group of children.
The new Fusion TV docu-series, which made its debut earlier this month, follows eight rising drag stars as they try to make it big in the industry.
For Marti Gould Cummings, donning a wig and makeup is how he expresses his activism, his politics and everything else he's ever wanted to say.
