About the author

Big Freedia (born Freddie Ross) is a performer, rapper, and cultural figure from New Orleans who rose to prominence in the 2010s as an ambassador for bounce music and culture. Known for energetic performances and media appearances, Freedia became the public face of bounce and twerking for many mainstream audiences while remaining grounded in the New Orleans queer and Black community that created these forms. The autobiography represents Freedia's articulation of personal experience and cultural history from a position of both insider knowledge and public visibility.
