"The House of Hidden Meanings" is a memoir by RuPaul, published on March 5, 2024. In this deeply personal account, RuPaul reflects on his journey from a challenging childhood in San Diego to becoming an international drag superstar. He discusses his experiences growing up as a Black, queer individual, navigating complex family dynamics, and finding his identity within the punk and drag scenes of Atlanta and New York.
