  • My therapist said to me once, you know,

  • Ru, the power you have in drag is

  • available to you out of drag.

  • Exsqueeze me?

  • For years, I've said you're born naked, and the rest is drag,

  • meaning everything you put on is, in essence,

  • something that was built. And once you're

  • able to see yourself from outside of yourself,

  • that's when the party begins.

  • In this MasterClass, I'm going to teach you about self-love,

  • confidence, joy, lips, foundation, wigs, chiffon--

  • everything it takes to unleash the magic that makes you you.

  • What you're going to see is Raven show you, step

  • by step, what it takes to get into real, glamazon drag.

  • Drag doesn't change who you are.

  • It actually reveals who you are.

  • My childhood was very tumultuous and traumatic.

  • My parents were always at war.

  • So my thinking was, this is all too much for me.

  • Just wake me when it's done.

  • Until I realized, you know, I want to be present for my life.

  • And it forced me to understand my own value.

  • Everything starts with know thyself.

  • Know what works with you.

  • You have to be present enough to know what feels right.

  • In drag, I feel so powerful.

  • It is your life's work to shine.

  • There is strength and power in you, but it's up to you

  • to realize it.

  • You were not born to fit in.

  • You were born to stand out.

  • I'm RuPaul, and this is my MasterClass.
