D.J. “Shangela” Pierce Instagram – One of my fave Thanksgiving memories … having a KIKI on the set of @gleeofficial in 2012, alongside @sarahjessicaparker @chriscolfer and @leamichele. I was so excited to audition and get this role … I’d only been doing drag for three years and only in the SAG union for one so this was huge for lil ol’ me … I did my own mug, pulled my santee alley purple dress from the closet (strapless for a dance number… what was I thinking?! 😂🫣) … everyone was a JOY to work with tho … so many great stories to share … my longtime amigo @iamrondavis was on set rooting me on … I ran into @msamberpriley on the studio lot and gushed with excitement … i even met the twins @iamskot & @brilovelife. Grateful to call all these folks my friends to this day. Really loved the way the Glee writers and production were constantly moving the needle on LGBTQ+ inclusivity during that time when it wasn’t as popular. ❤️🌈😁 Happy Thanksgiving Y’all! 🦃
