Once Lost Now Proud
Self-invention is never over until we allow it to be. We can all be on the receiving end of some pretty impressive curveballs in life, some we never imagine or expect, and we can find ourselves a bit lost; it's the decisions we make at that moment that can change everything. In this podcast, I discuss areas of my life where I felt utterly lost which I'm sure some can relate to. I'll also be joined by some remarkable guests who will be baring all, discussing some of the most painful and challenging times in their lives, with a focus on how they kept going when everything seemed against them and how they've ended up very proud of where they are today. It is my hope that by listening to this podcast it will inspire you to take a leap of faith, because you never know what's waiting for you on the other side!
Once Lost Now Proud
Glam to Damn - Part 1
In today's episode, I'm interviewing Eddie Adams, and some of you may know him by his stage name, "Eddie OK Adams."
He has graced us with his presence as one of the first and most original drag queens of the UK, and as you will hear, his originality started very young and continues to this day.
Eddie talks of how he came out as gay, how he got into the drag industry, his political views, his good, bad and indifferent experience with relationships, and what it was like for him growing up and being different to what some might say was the norm.
Eddie has had many curves balls and actual bricks and bottles thrown at him in life, but what I love is his willingness to carry on no matter what life throws at him.
This story is separated into two parts because this story deserves that and because before Eddie's life was turned upside down in 2017, he's lived an extraordinary life that we should all pay attention to.
I think you'll agree that we can all learn a thing or two from Eddie, I can promise you, if you get nothing else, you'll laugh and that's good for the soul, Eddie is good for your soul, so press play and have a listen to Part one of Glam to Damn.
