Stay and Walk Forward - Joel's fight for LGBTQ rights in Cuba

In the final episode of "Glitter From Dust," we delve into the early days of Cuban drag through Joel's experiences. With scarce resources and severe risks, early performers improvised with borrowed wigs and homemade makeup, facing brutal consequences for their self-expression.

Joel’s story is a powerful mix of joy and hardship. Despite these challenges, he has remained in Cuba to champion LGBTQ rights and inspire a new generation to continue the queer revolution. This episode encapsulates the resilience and transformative impact of Cuba's drag scene over the years.
