YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Desmond Is Amazing" can rock a runway.
At just 11 years old, Desmond Napoles is a drag superstar and an LGBTQ activist from New York City. He sashays through life with infectious confidence and inspires others with his motto to "be yourself always, no matter what." And to any bullies and haters — and there have been many — Desmond says he pays them no mind because "they're not as fierce as you and I."
Desmond's talents don't stop with performing and public speaking. He's acted. He's modeled in New York Fashion Week. He is writing a children's book and releasing a single called "We Are All Amazing." RuPaul once called him "the future of America," and Desmond takes the title seriously — after all, it came from his original inspiration for doing drag.
To see how amazing Desmond is, watch the video above.
