Omani Cross organizes a makeup case in her Logan Square apartment. Born Omar Cruz, Omani Cross moved to Chicago from the suburb of Elgin to study game design at DePaul University. "Before doing drag, I was kind of this shy and reserved kid, and it wasn't easy to make friends," Cross said. “It’s not just female impersonation or performing—it’s being a part of the community that makes me feel special. I’m able to be my most authentic self through drag, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.” . 📷: babymurtz for #JOUR276 in this week’s thedepaulia . . #dragqueen #dragqueens #drag #chicagodrag #depaul #depauluniversity #lgtb #lgtbq #cmndepaul #depauljournalism #repost
