The Queens of the Stories

Overview

A Latinx drag queen activist couple in San Diego uses storytelling to educate and empower children, foster community, and spread a universal message of understanding and self-acceptance. Barbie Q and Raquel Ita inspire a love of reading while teaching deeper lessons of building an equally diverse and inclusive society. We learn of the queen's backgrounds, watch their performance, hear their aspirations for using the art of drag to enrich children's lives with reading, and enter into an imaginative world of storytime via an animated sequence.
