  "textContent": "_This episode originally aired in May 2024._ Drag superstar Latrice Royale has been in the game since before  _Ru Paul’s Drag Race_ was a phenomenon. She won Miss Congeniality on her season of that show, and went on to appear on  _All-Stars_ and  _Drag U._ An actor and performer, Latrice leads Season 4 of HBO’s drag docuseries  _We’re Here_. And if you know anything about Latrice, just a few moments with Della Reese’s character, Vera Walker, in the Eddie Murphy-directed dramedy  _Harlem Nights_ will show you how Latrice’s persona may have been shaped by Vera’s no-nonsense power and heart of gold. Then, Jordan has one quick think about  _Humane_ , directed by Caitlin Cronenberg.\n\n_Feeling Seen_ is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun. Need more  _Feeling Seen_? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.",
