RuPaul wasn't always the superstar he is today. Learn about his rise to fame in his new memoir.

Listen up, squirrel friends: Mother Ru has a new memoir hitting shelves today. 

When you think of RuPaul, you likely think of the charismatic, joyful media personality who has built a reality TV empire. But the RuPaul's Drag Race host hasn't always been the mogul he is today. His humble beginnings and rise to fame are documented in his new memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings.

A brutally honest celebrity memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings arrives today, March 5, and is one you won't want to sashay away from. In the new book, RuPaul chronicles his life as a Black queer child growing up with an absent father and a difficult mother, and how he forged a new identity to find himself where he is today. The memoir is currently available to shop on Amazon, and, as a bonus, it's on sale.
