The path that we figuratively walk on to figure out who we are is not easy. But it is definitely worth it.
RuPaul is an icon. He tells his story in the new memoir/autobiography, The House of Hidden Meanings: A Memoir. Growing up as a queer Black child in San Diego with a less-than-ideal family, his start in life did not indicate where he would go. His father was not always around and his mother was not the huggy kissy type.
Later in life, he moved to both Atlanta and New York and found his people in the punk and drag scenes. He would marry the love of his life and finally become sober after years of drug addiction.
I enjoyed this book. RuPaul is open about his past, warts and all. It is heartfelt, honest, and revealing. His difficulties are not sugarcoated or ignored. Overall, his message to his readers is to put yourself out there (despite the fear) and see what happens.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
The House of Hidden Meanings: A Memoir is available wherever books are sold.
