"An animated look at celebrating who you are and never letting others dim your light." --Kirkus reviews

A celebration of all the things that make you extraordinary, unique, and gorgeously YOU, by Jonathan Van Ness, New York Times bestselling author and star of the Netflix hit show Queer Eye.

I am exactly who I'm meant to be.
Perfectly, happily, gorgeously me!
