On Our Minds is produced by teens with PBS News Student Reporting Labs. Hosts Zack from Southern California and Helena from North Carolina head out on a road trip across the U.S. This episode of On Our Minds Road Trip takes us to Columbia, Missouri, where drag performers are building community, creating joy, and challenging stereotypes. Student producer Maggie LeBeau takes us inside the local drag scene, introducing us to performers like Alexxa Pro and Artemis Gray. They’re creating spaces of belonging, especially for young queer people who don’t always have one.
