.sashacolby for Billboard's Pride issue 🌟🏳️🌈 Read her interview:
“I don’t even think they are necessarily mad at us,” opines Colby, who became the first trans woman of color to winin April. “I think they understand that our voice is very loud right now. I feel like they understand how much power we hold as a commerce and as people that have a lot of voting power. They’re just trying to scare us back into the closet, for lack of better words, because that’s the only thing that they know how to operate on.
Colby developed her drag skills secretly as a teenager behind a locked bathroom door. The self-professed “full-on ham” stuck with drag over the years because of the control it affords a DIY artist. “It’s one of the very few arts where you are completely in charge of yourself. You’re not working with a team — you’re not contributing to a bigger machine,” she says. “Drag is very personal. In drag, you are a living, breathing art installation — constantly changing, constantly improving.
Colby’s aim is to get through to people — and yes, voters — who feel like the only way they can get ahead is by putting down others. “We have to make everyone’s human interest everyone’s concern,” she says.
