Born in Hawaii and raised by Jehovah’s witnesses, Sasha is best known for winning the title of Miss Continental on 2012. She was already an L.A. drag legend before competing in the 15th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, garnering a name for herself as a trans model, activist, and performer in such stage shows as previous Drag Race winner Sasha Velour’s showcase Nightgowns. She is also the drag mother of former contestant Kerri Colby. As a finalist for Drag Race, Sasha was pitted against drag queen Anetra in a lip sync to Amii Stewart’s “Knock On Wood”, and did a shocking two costume reveal down to what is basically a thong and pasties, riling up the crowd with her back-bending, ass-smacking choreography and eventually snatching the crown. We’re so glad Sasha didn’t sashay away, but we would’ve loved to have her leave!
