I have met Willie Ninja and allow me to share. What a wonderful, humble, sweet and kind soul. He met me when i was down and new to coming out and he kindly picked me up, took me to meet his mom and we spoke all night. He educated, informed and infused love in me. I will never forget him and his kindness.

@@austint8263 it’s not necessarily a riddle. It’s more of by the end of the sentence, it seems he forgot what he was talking about at the beginning, so he tries to say something to fill the void. Rambling is a better word for it, I think.

As someone who was a young adult in the 80s, it cant be stressed enough how damaging AIDS was or how badly it was handled by our govt. Just in my own life I lost 3 men including my dance partner, the 1st guy I dated and the sweet man who cut my hair since I was a child. No one in power seemed to care until famous white people started dying! They dismissed it, called it "gay cancer", and we lost so much of a whole gen. of amazing people 💔

Willie was not a drag queen. Nor did he choreograph Madonna’s Vogue video. This is a bit misleading and kind of disrespectful to get the story so incorrect and to erase Jose and Luis Xtravaganza and Vincent Patterson’s groundbreaking work with Madonna. Edit: They first call him a drag queen at 6:34.
