RuPaul serves up some white-hot realness with the life lessons he shares and the gorgeous drag he creates. RuPaul is a hero of mine, and I have long been a fan of his artistic creations and soulful messaging.
Even though the print version of this book is breathtaking with its stunning images, listening to the audio version still delivers a ton of magic. I return to GuRu anytime I feel less than the incredible being of light that I am, that we are all deep inside. It’s powerful to hear sage advice from a glamazon who has had to take so much shit over the years because he didn’t fit into anyone else’s boxes.
I cannot recommend this book enough, especially if you feel like you don’t fit in as the authentic person you are. Like Ru says in the beginning, this book is for all of the sensitive seekers out there, just like me, and by the end, I felt ready to slay.

My 5 favorite quotes from this book:
“The universe always has stage directions for you if you are open, if you clear a place for it.”
RuPaul
“We all want validation, proof of life, but it must come from you, from the inside out rather than the outside in.”
RuPaul
“You know, in nature, if you don’t evolve, you will be phased out. It is that simple. If you don’t serve the greater good, if you don’t make yourself useful, and give the world something it needs, you will become redundant.”
RuPaul
“Look, folks are going to talk shit about you anyway, so you might as well just go ahead and do your own thing.”
RuPaul
“Quick reminder, don’t dumb down. Own your greatness. We often play small so as not to threaten other people. We don’t want to intimidate them by our brightness, but the truth is you do them and yourself a disservice by dimming what you’ve been given.”
RuPaul
