“It’s An Epidemic!” Drag Race Star Bimini on The Dark Side of Drag, Addiction And Queer Shame

In this episode of We Need To Talk, Drag Race UK star Bimini shares the defining moments that shaped them - from losing their best friend in a tragic car accident to surviving the dark side of fame. Bimini opens up about battling shame and addiction, reflects on the highs and lows of their Drag Race journey, why they spoke out about the darker side of the industry, and how they rebuilt their life on their own terms. This is an empowering conversation about grief, identity, survival – and finding strength in living beyond the binary.
