In an exclusive video interview between Eureka and Eufreka, Frankie opens up about his reality television career, gender expression, and not conforming to societal norms.
In fact, appearing on this episode of Drag Race was the first time he appeared back on television since his family went through the horrible tragedy in Manchester. He was very nervous about it all. "I was nervous about a lot of things until I got into Eufreka," he said. "Drag had the power for me in that situation." He went on to say: "This show as part of my recovery process. It gave me my Sacha-diva-fierceness again."
