Jonathan Paul Hamilt

Hi, I’m Jonathan Hamilt. I’m a co-founder of Drag Story Hour National and the first drag queen to read for Drag Story Hour in New York City. I currently serve as President of the Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands and am a founding member of the Newburgh Pride Committee. I previously served as an Arts and Culture Commissioner for the City of Newburgh.

​

I’m also a drag artist known as Ona Louise, where my work blends storytelling, community building, history, and queer joy.
