This is one of our most favorite recordings to date. Heath returns and has brought his friends Brandon James (a.k.a. Brandon Hilton, a.k.a Onya Mann) and Michelle Shara. Brandon is a drag queen from the bustling metropolis of Pacolet, SC. He has some great stories to tell. Michelle lives and breathes dog and cat rescue. Brandon and Michelle are collaborating on a fundraiser in Greenville, SC called Queens to the Rescue, benefitting Lucky Pup Rescue SC and The Barker Rescue Project.
