Two-Spirit Royalty: Landa Lakes on Drag, Activism, and Cultural Empowerment

In this episode of Drag Me To Heaven, I had the honor of speaking with the iconic Landa Lakes, a Two-Spirit Chickasaw drag queen, artist, and activist based in San Francisco. 🌈 Landa shares her incredible journey from growing up in the Tupelo community of Oklahoma to becoming a leading voice in the Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ communities.

We dive into her groundbreaking work as the founder of the Brush Arbor Gurlz and the House of Glitter, her role as Westcoast Mother of the Vogue House of Lauren, and her efforts in creating spaces like the BAAITS Two-Spirit Powwow and the Weaving Spirits Two-Spirit Performance Festival. 💃

Listen in as Landa reflects on how she uses art and drag to blend Native history, storytelling, and contemporary activism, offering a fresh perspective on human nature beyond Western ideals. From her memorable appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race to her legacy as a community leader, Landa’s story is one of resilience, brilliance, and glittering impact.
