āBesides bananas, my work always starts from the heart,ā Nymphia Wind, the champion of RuPaulās Drag Race season 16 and reigning Americaās Next Drag Superstar, says of her work.
Since joining Mama Ruās queendom, Wind highlights the incredible year that sheās had so far. āI got to meet some very important figures, including Jane Goodall; the former president of Taiwan [Tsai Ing-Wen]; and Kamala Harris.ā Wind was also featured on the cover of Taiwan Vogue and underscores that ārepresenting the drag community on the cover of a major magazine was such a memorable moment for me.ā
Wind still deals with āself-loathing, insecurities, and self-esteemā issues, which she candidly reveals she has yet to overcome. Looking ahead, the Drag Race superstar wants to ācurate and produce unique shows that fuse Taiwanese culture, traditional craft, and drag performance. Itās a mix of who I am and what I represent. Iād be honored to tour the world with a show like that one day.ā Wind adds, āSo that, and meeting the Dalai Lama.ā @66wind99
