I decided to be a little creative since I have been sick and lounging so here is my reasoning for each category I have been nominated into 😊 So if you don’t really know me or my work at all this is a little helpful hint into Autumn.
1. Producer. My production company AIS Productions has been blessed to produce many shows in my local area this past year. My very first show was Britney Spears themed and I only produced it because I wanted to have a Full Britney Spears Drag Show.
I guess it was also wanted and we sold out 🔥 Then I got the bug from working events in my old radio days. I knew how much hard work, determination, advertising and all the elements to make the shows work, never asking for handouts. Since then I have partnered with Beatniks Midland MI, Mi Element grains & grounds, Nord Social, Legacy Coffee House,and soon to be The Brunch Guy! I cannot thank the owners of those businesses enough for believing in me and being such great supports!
2. Best Newcomer. I have been super blessed this year! I have run my own successful Production company but I have also been extended so many amazing opportunities I couldn’t imagine to have. Michigan Drag Bus, Great Lakes Bay Pride,The Fenton Village PlayersBroadway Theatre, The Dunes Resort, Saugatuck MI, Historic Masonic Temple of Bay City, Rumors Nightclub,and so many more! I’ve done Bingos, Brunches, and my latest performing on a bus! As many opportunities as I have received I have also been blessed and have been able to create many opportunities for other artists to perform in the Great Lakes Bay Region. I have helped fill a void that was in my area for years. The best part of what I do is building the connections. Connections with business owners, connections with the people I work with and book and connections to the audience most importantly. The amount of time I have had reach out after a show and have been told personal stories is amazing and at times overwhelming, but I wouldn’t change it. Thank you to everyone for the amazing opportunities!
3. AFAB Queen. I waited until I was 40 to start doing drag because I never thought I was “allowed.” I wish I hadn’t in hindsight but I’m making up for it. I have been accepted by so so many with open arms. Over the last year and and half or so I have had many come up to me and not realize they could do what I do…just like I hadn’t. The amount of inspirational stories I have received since starting and all about me being something unique (that’s just not how I saw myself). I am proud to be AFAB and proud to do things many haven’t been able to do and be on stages as the first AFAB Queen. Thank you for your nomination. I have a photo showing some of my looks over this year!
4. Best Flier. Again I run my own production company but also offer flier commissions. This is one of the most fun and relaxing parts of what I do! I do all my own social media, advertising, and everything on my own with some help behind behind the scenes during our shows. I’ve attached a few examples of my work for consideration 💜🍂

Oh yeah and also vote for my drag mom Veronica Scott for all her hard work in her categories! She’s the reason I’m Autumn 🍂. I’ve added photos with her categories showing some of her finest works. These were made by me to campaign a little bec I know she won’t! She deserves so much recognition for all she does in and for the community!
