Courtney Act (aka Shane Jenek) on sexuality, gender fluidity, and unconscious bias

This is an excerpt from the latest episode of our podcast, Unfiltered with Oli Dugmore. Watch the rest of the interview here:

My guest today is an international drag sensation, winning hearts and minds during their multiple TV show appearances in Australia, the UK, and the USA.

The blonde bombshell’s rise to stardom was propelled by their appearance on Ru Paul’s Drag Race Season 6. And, in 2018, they faced off with Ann Widdecombe to become the winner of Celebrity Big Brother UK.

But, the challenge of loving themselves in a heteronormative world wasn’t always so easy.

Singer, drag queen, all round entertainer. You may know my guest as Courtney Act, but today they are here as Shane Jenek.
