Sultana of New York is a Palestinian drag queen, performer, and artist. Reflecting on her journey from Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, to then New York, she speaks about the challenges of performing drag in conservative societies, her nostalgia for the glory days and the glamour of Egyptian cinema icons, and her struggle to prove her existence and her self-expression as a performer and artist. <\/p>\n<\/div>
