On a recent Sunday morning, Destiny Adams arrived to work at Tumbleweed + Sage Coffeehouse at the crack of dawn. In a few hours, Adams would be hosting a Pride event featuring the first-ever drag queen story time in her small, conservative town of Wolfforth, a suburb of Lubbock with a population under 6,000.
As she prepared food in the kitchen all morning, thoughts of doubt crept into her mind. Is this a mistake? Is she doing the right thing for her community? Are the risks worth it?
To her complete surprise, she walked out from behind the kitchen to discover about a dozen people already waiting outside with over an hour to go before opening.
