JoJo Siwa talks coming out in the public eye and overcoming hate

From Dance Moms to KARMA, JoJo Siwa is a household name. Behind the rhinestones and colorful bows, is a businesswoman making waves.
Matt Rodrigues stopped by her LA studio to get an inside look at how the former child star is transforming into her own and owning who she is as a queer performer.
Siwa opens up about coming out in the public eye at the age of 17, overcoming hate, and her plans to have a family in the near future, involving a sperm donor.

We don't need a month to be proud. I've been going to Pride festivals in Hollywood since early 90's

Imagine sending a film crew out for a whole day to interview JoJo and the video gets $15 in views.
Just imagine that.
