Yvie Oddly, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season eleven, has opened up about her experiences and struggles in her new memoir, “All About Yvie: Into the Oddity.” This book provides a candid look into her life, covering everything from her childhood and career to her battle with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
In the memoir, Oddly discusses her return to Drag Race for All Stars season seven, revealing behind-the-scenes moments and personal challenges. She describes the season as not aligning with her expectations, offering insights into the realities of competing on such a high-profile stage.
Oddly also addresses her complex relationship with her fans, whom she describes as having a “love-hate” dynamic. She explains how fame has affected her and her interactions with others, shedding light on the often overlooked personal toll of public recognition.
Moreover, Oddly delves into her personal life, including her experiences growing up as a multiracial kid in Denver and living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She shares how this condition, which affects connective tissues, has impacted her physically and emotionally, especially in the demanding world of drag performance.
Despite the challenges, Oddly remains committed to her art and her community. Her memoir is set to release on June 19, coinciding with Juneteenth and during LGBTQ+ Pride Month, symbolizing her ongoing journey and celebration of her identity.
