We'll also be chatting with Riley Finley Aka (BeyonShade Lee Starr), who will share some exciting things happening in the world of LGBTQ and film!
Riley has been in the female illusionist world going on 10 years, has enjoyed every minute of it, and wouldn’t change it for anything. Before all of the makeup, glitz and glam Riley was a little ole country boy from Alvord Texas. She grew up in a small town with very harsh criticism and judgment. When she was in middle school, she battled a very hard rumor that went around town like wild fire. Her mother (Tami Finley) packed up their home and moved them to the city, "Fort Worth" to attend a fine arts school. There Riley discovered more theatre programs and truly began to find herself. In high school she began to explore more avenues such as Drag and learned from some of the best. Flash forward to today. Now, Riley stands 6’3" tall and has been wearing wigs for almost 10 years. She is currently vying for the title of Miss Gay Texas State 2023-2024 on Labor Day weekend and will continue to reach for bigger and better goals!
