They/Them

Where are you from?

San Antonio, Texas

What does the theme "Pride Through Protest" mean to you personally?

This theme means that being proud and unapologetic about who I am is my protest. There is a time to march and a time to dance, and a time for both. It’s about refusing to let them take our queer joy, talent, love, and creativity.

Why are you participating in Royalty In Recovery? (Share your why-your story, your motivation, or what this pageant means to you)

I am participating in this event because recovery is about showing everyone they belong and that joy and creativity are our birthright.

How has recovery or sobriety impacted your life or identity?

It is the foundation of my life and identity.

What is a fun fact about you that people might not expect? (Quirky, silly, impressive - we want to know)

I can lick my elbow

What's your favorite talent you've seen in a past pageant? (Tell us what moment left you inspired, gagged, or cheering the loudest)

My favorite pageant moment is when Steve Harvey crowned the wrong winner. It made me question all the times I had lost.

Who inspires you and why? (Could be someone famous, a mentor, or someone from your personal life)

My abuela. I watched as over her final years she lost the ability to use her body. She never once let that stop her from being a source of love and support. I think about that everyday.

Anything else you want the audience to know about you? This is your space to speak directly to the folks reading your bio - go off!

I am so grateful for recovery and the recovery community showing me that no matter what we face in our lives, we no longer have to face it alone. Drag is a gift of my recovery and I do it in service of you to spread joy, humor, and hope.
