Glass Bricks
Deconstructing what it means to be a man, Glass Bricks challenges the outward presentation of gender conformity through self-expression. Giving us a peak behind the curtain, Finessa Jawn walks us through the process of what it takes to get into drag and shows us that community building and self-love should be felt regardless of how you identify.
