#301: Justin Johnson / Alyssa Edwards "RAW AND REAL - Lead With Love" Part 2

He tells us about being the Vanessa Williams of Drag - winning Miss America and getting dethroned - this caused him to log off the internet and trying to make the best of it. Then Shangela got on Ru Paul's Drag Race
and told Justin that he has to go on that show, but he didn't think he could do it.
Justin has so much respect for Ru Paul and calls him the pioneer that opened all these opportunities worldwide.
Justin was worried that his dance kids and parents would think of him weirdly if he went on the show.

When the producer called to audition Justin - he was shocked and told them they can google him and they surely googled "AMERICA's QUEEN". They kept bringing up that he was dethroned and if
he knows Coco Montrese the person that took over the crown. He said he never heard of him :). Ultimately they were both cast on Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 5 and the rest is history.

Randy with World Of Wonder decided to create a spinoff YouTube Series Alyssa's Secret which was their very first World Of Wonder Streaming Show.
Fun Fact - they are rebooting Alyssa's Secret - but that is ultimately where the Netflix Series Dancing Queen got started.

Justin talks about his Beyond Belief Dance Studio and that there are so many life lessons you can take from dance.
He is training the youth of today - they are going to be the future of tomorrow. Those are going to be the leaders - he wants help to develop their character and instill a set of values and a code of conduct.

We talk about lessons from his Granny with the most important one being to 'LEAD WITH LOVE' - she was all about the nails and lashes and how to be a woman. We talk about his beloved Granny dying and
that he feels at peace with it and she will live on inside of him forever.

Then Justin reads a letter from a fan.

Then we talk about the Netflix Docu Series Dancing Queen with a lot of behind the scenes secrets. Everyone wants a Season 2 of Dancing Queen. That is the question he is asked the most.

Stay tuned for Part 3 with more behind the scenes secrets and we talk about Justin's relationship and more.............
