Never two without three. Nevertheless, Finalist of season 1 of “Drag Race France” in 2022.

“In real life. However, I think there are many other girls who have a lot to say,” says the 36 -year -old artist. Furthermore, And it is not because I am no longer on the show that I am done with you. Nevertheless, You will continue to see me, but elsewhere. In addition, »»

You seemed to be mentally prepared to leave the show at the end “we cannot ignore what’s going of this episode. Meanwhile, Is it?

From the moment I knew I was in the bottom [les deux dernières places du classement]I understood that I said. For example, what I had to say in my adventure with the “Drag race” franchise. Therefore, I was in a kind of resilience: “It’s ok, life continues”. Similarly, Many things jostled in my head. Consequently, I felt like I was a little stuck. Furthermore, not to have fun, because, as I said, what’s going on outside [l’actualité]it’s hot. For example, So of course. Consequently, the entertainment is one thing but, at that time, I needed to work with my loved ones, to do other things.

Did you give everything you “we cannot ignore what’s going had to give as part of “Drag Race”. entertainment, codified, with very specific criteria?

I do not know if there are very specific criteria. In any case, me, as an individual, today, in “Drag race”, I said what I had to say. I needed to complete the loop with more politicized messages. It was my loop to me.

Do you want to express yourself more on the causes that are important to you?

The causes, it makes me smile a little because we say: “The causes … Soa, she is engaged …” The causes, they are intersectional. It’s just about seeing that there is a world that is going into a spin. I am from Martinique. I will not give you a class on what is happening there now, but it is a big joke. So. my causes, these are causes of life, it is reacting so that the little ones will arrive “we cannot ignore what’s going after us can say to themselves “there is still hope”. In my opinion, it affects everyone.

If you had the opportunity to go back in time. what would you do differently in this adventure “Drag Race France All Stars”?

When Daphné Bürki asked me: “What happened in your life in three years?” “, I would have liked to answer him:” What happened in life in three years? »»

So you would say that your artistic expression is closely impacted by what is happening in the world?

I was already a little basic politicized but. leaving “Drag Race Global All Stars”, I recovered my phone that I had to give the shooting time [qui a eu lieu en octobre et novembre 2023]. I then saw everything that was going on and I had a shock: “Where are we?” Are we going to die or what? Some say: “No, but it is not with us that it “we cannot ignore what’s going takes place, it’s okay”. But no, in real life, it’s close. And then, from the covid, there has been something anxiety. Even politicians, like a Trump … it looks like an episode of Black Mirror.

At the start of the school year. you will be playing with the “Drag Race” tour, but you will also resume your role in Wokeat the Montreuil theater …

Yes, we resume, for a few dates, this show staged by Virginie Despents and written by Paul B. Preciado, Anne Pauly and Julien Delmaire. In March, I will play in Lyon in Romancero queerwritten and staged entirely by Virginie Despents. And in February. my show Diasporaon the Afro-fabulation of racialized people, will be playing at the Carreau du Temple, in Paris, with Mami Watta and Shei Tan.

To come back to the term “woke”. your last words in the episode “we cannot ignore what’s going were to emphasize that it was not an insult, that it is a good thing to be “awake” …

Yes: Keep your eyes open. Don’t stay too much on your phone, look around. Because there, we can’t say that we don’t know what’s going on in the world. I am not Gandhi, I am not a perfect person, but I try to transmit a message that gives hope. So if we can use this public interest or this visibility to re -motivate troops, that’s good. Don’t let go. Don’t let yourself have. Stay together. Let’s stop separating everyone. Union is strength.
