Grizzly Kiki began in April 2014 as a pop culture and drag-centric podcast hosted by Robert Lechuga & Daniel Silva. We launched with recaps of RuPaul’s Drag Race and other reality programming. Shortly after releasing the first few episodes, we narrowed our focus to create a podcast that was unique in concept and would serve a community near and dear to us: DRAG QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The podcast is equal parts oral history and good old-fashioned kiki. We found that there were few platforms where Drag and Nightlife Artists could talk about their art and themselves in an open and honest way. Most of what is known about these artists comes from videos posted on the Internet or what they experience in bars and clubs. It was clear that there were stories to be told and shared with the world. Our mission is to create a comfortable and safe environment, where these artists can share their histories and experiences. Ours is a podcast that is meant to serve the drag and nightlife community by capturing the artists’ voices and making them available to the public. Grizzly Kiki is a program for drag enthusiasts, Drag Artists, and everyone in between. Listen and Join the Party!!

Jackie Huba (a.ka. Lady Trinity)
Introducing Lady Trinity! Lady Trinity is a drag queen who was taught by the likes of Kelly Kline and Phi Phi O'Hara. Underneath the makeup, ponytails, and thigh high boots is Jackie Huba, a bestselling author and expert in customer loyalty and branding. Jackie's latest book, "Fiercely You: Be Fabulous And Confident By Thinking Like a Drag Queen," explores a world far removed from corporate America: DRAG! At the age of forty-seven, Jackie found herself in a professional and personal rut. She was bored, newly single, and needed a new direction. It was during the "lowest point in her life" that she stumbled upon an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. She was immediately hooked on the show and devoured every season. The confidence and courage she saw in the Drag Race contestants inspired her to re-invent herself as Lady Trinity. Throughout the course of her transformation, she interviewed drag queens across the United States and used the knowledge she gained to write "Fiercely You" with co-author, Shelly Stewart Kronbergs. In it, she outlines the five "Keys To Fierce," which are a framework to unleash your inner fierceness!
