Young Scot Awards 2020 winner, Jordy has cystic fibrosis and uses drag performances to educate audiences about the condition
Jordan McKinley may have cystic fibrosis but, as a teenager, discovered a love of drag and became artist Jordy Deelight.
Despite spending years in and out of hospital, Jordy has not let their life-shortening condition stifle their creativity.
From an early age, Jordy would dress up in beads and heels and entertain the nurses and patients during hospital stays.
