With a boutique hotel in the pipeline and a hit TV show, Big Freedia Means Business, returning to a screen near you this summer, Freddie “Big Freedia” Ross Jr. is primed to, per her own sampled words on the Beyoncé hit “Break My Soul,” explode. We caught up with the New Orleans native to chat about entrepreneurship, design, and keeping it luxe on the road.
