Guy Anabella
Creativity Professor, Designer & Drag Queen
By day, Guy Anabella is a fierce Creativity Professor in Ontario.
She empowers her students to be their true selves and to use creativity to change the world for the better. At night, she transforms into Guy Anabella, a drag artist drawing inspiration from her Guyanese heritage. Her mission in drag is to dismantle traditional gender binaries, celebrate her Caribbean culture and empower individuals through creativity. As a powerlifter (she can deadlift 500lbs!), she uses her physical strength to challenge societal expectations of gender, blending her muscular physique with bold, feminine aesthetics to demonstrate the fluidity of gender expression and confront societal biases. Creativity and making the world a better place underscores her life both in and out of the classroom.
