Drag Name Origin[]
"I was in a dance class and I was doing jazz, funk and my teacher said I was very feminine and he was like "when's your birthday?", I was like "June, I'm a gemini" and then he was like "what's the last thing you ate?", I said "I just had jambalaya in the cafe" and he's like "June Jambalaya, that's your drag name".[2]
