Paper Doll is a love letter to musical theater, faith, and femininity and I believe should be required reading for anyone looking to expand their relationship to the LGBTQ+ community.

Our singular job is to become who we were meant to be before the world told us who to be. On that journey, Dylan Mulvaney is a wayfinder.
