TS Madison sits down with VladTV for a candid look back at her early life in Miami, from growing up in the church and being raised with her brothers to recognizing her identity after seeing The Crying Game and early images of RuPaul. The entertainer and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge discusses beginning her transition around 17, finding underground hormones in the mid-1990s, and later getting silicone injections before BBLs became mainstream. She also opens up about being fired from jobs at Publix, Long John Silver’s, and TracFone/Top Telecom while transitioning, eventually turning to sex work on 79th Street in Miami after feeling pushed out of traditional employment. Madison reflects on family, her father’s drug addiction, the AIDS crisis, Magic Johnson, and the dangers of body injections, with references to Cardi B, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Pebbles the Model, Jason Lee, Nick Cannon, Beyoncé, and Uncle Luke.
