“I saw a need to support the drag artists in my community. Those who are new to drag aren’t taught about how to merge art and business. My goal is to help performers earn an equitable income while doing what they love.”
Connie Zeller

“As I started to perform as Anita K. Sadilla, I realized my background in large-scale entertainment could revolutionize the business of local drag. My mission is to work hand-in hand with the community to create safer, more inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive!”
