Per Sia, a 43-year-old transgender woman, drag queen, and educator, spends her weekday afternoons teaching first graders at an after-school art program in San Francisco. She has spent over a decade in the program and even longer as a drag queen. Her life outside of teaching is intermixed with performances and drag story hours, having been the first drag queen to host these now internationally recognized events for children. Drag has been a part of her life for eighteen years, and over the span of almost two decades, she has made an impact on the San Francisco drag scene and even more of an impact on her students.

Hashem Mishal using an angle grinder to cut a drill bit, in the SAE team’s garage at SF State on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024. “We don't get anything from the school other than this workshop,” Mishal said. “Our advisor, he runs the shop, and he also works with us to try and get as [many] opportunities as possible. So it was really nice, in helping us get this space, but all the tools are just some of the guys’ or third parties’. I don't know where these tools came from, but a lot of it was sponsors, donations from alumni. Right now, all the hardware we’ve been paying out of pocket for the time being.” (Jonah Chambliss / Xpress Magazine)
