From Crack to PhD: A Drag Queen’s Story

Diagnosed with HIV/AIDS at the age of 26, this is the story of a person facing his own mortality until the release of the life extending drug AZT. At 40, Austin beat back his demons and is living his best life as a drag performer and a professor at Cal State Fullerton.
It’s a story you don’t want to miss!
