When did you discover your calling?

Before I moved to San Francisco, I heard about the Sisters from people that had lived in or visited the City. I felt an instant attraction to the group's mission, and I joined soon after moving here.

Who were your Mother and Sponsors?

My Mother is Sister Kitty Catalyst, who had the difficult task of sponsoring my twin, Sister Sistah, at the same time (Kitty taught us everything we know about glamour!)

Why did you join?

To expand my sense of community and purpose. And for the drag, of course!
