Background
Hi! I’m Venus Envy from Orlando, Florida!
My pronouns are she/her, I identify as asexual, and I am a cisgender woman who does drag.
For a long time, I thought that I couldn’t be a drag queen because of my gender, but Orlando’s drag scene has accepted me with open arms. I started doing drag in 2015 when I worked at Pulse Nightclub as a VIP Hostess. Pulse was my home bar – It’s where I worked during college, it’s where I met most of my friends, and up until June 12th, 2016, it was my safe space. I was working the night of the shooting, and while I did survive with no physical injuries, I have been struggling with PTSD since that night.
Through LGBTQ+ and trauma-informed therapy, as well as antidepressant medication, I have learned to manage my mental health and live a happy and fulfilling life. I’ve continued to pursue drag, and over time, I’ve built a social media presence as Venus Envy. I’ve always used my platform to show that all drag is valid, but now I want to use that platform to have open conversations about mental health, erase the stigma around psychiatric medication, and provide visibility for those living with PTSD.
