Kamala Harris’s niece is producing a play starring Dylan Mulvaney, a man who believes he is a woman, to bring “trans stories and queer joy to mainstream media.”
Meena Harris posted to Instagram Friday that she is “producing partner” for Mulvaney’s “One woman show F*GHAG,” which is opening next week and is “recommended for mature audiences.”

Mulvaney is the Instagram influencer whose partnership with Bud Light—which featured Mulvaney exploring “womanhood” while dressing in stereotypucally female clothes—cost the beer brand more than $1 billion in revenue.
The younger Harris has become an Instagram influencer in her own right, boasting nearly 700,000 followers—a following that White House officials have fretted was built partly by cashing in on her famous aunt.
Days after Biden took office in 2021, White House lawyers were furious at Meena, saying her “Behavior needs to change,” the LA Times reported.
Meena wrote a childrens’ book called Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea, as well as another book, called Ambitious Girl, which was released hours before Harris was sworn in as the first female vice president.
She also founded a clothing line called Phenomenal, which sold a sweatshirt that said “Vice President Aunty.”
After the 2020 election, the White House reportedly instructed Meena not to produce any products using Kamala’s name or likeness, and said the book and sweatshirt ran afoul of ethics rules, the Times wrote.
“But even after the briefing with ethics lawyers, Meena flew to the inauguration on a private plane with a Biden donor and posted about the trip on Instagram, which was first reported by Politico. She launched a production company that produced a video with a political group to celebrate her aunt. And she collaborated on special-edition Beats by Dre headphones that used a slogan popularized by Kamala Harris,” the Times reported said.
Meena also wrote “The Truth about Mrs. Claus,” a children’s book that suggests Santa Claus’s wife is black.
Harris insiders have griped anonymously to media that the Biden administration was zealous in applying ethics rules to Harris’s family while looking the other way at the activities of President Joe Biden’s son and brother.
