Hot Wheelz is a 'drag creature' in a wheelchair making magic out of their disability

Hot Wheelz is just one of the extraordinary subjects featured in Canada’s a Drag, a docu-series from CBC Arts that celebrates drag artists who are pushing through the darkness to give us all more light.

The first person who uses a wheelchair to perform drag in Edmonton, Hot Wheelz calls themselves the “ultimate bingo card.”

“I got all of the oppression and disability,” they say. “I’m Asian, queer, trans and AFAB!” They’re also the ultimate inspiration for the disabled community, as you’ll find out for yourself in this episode.
