To my season 11 CYSTERS - thank you for being the best competitors and now friends anyone could ask for. To the final 5, you are really everything.

Thank you for giving me this chance and this opportunity. To my Columbus family who got me here and have continually pushed me these last 18 years, thank you. The biggest of thanks to my West family. You are home, and I am so grateful I have you. - my drag mother, thank you for teaching me time and time again about this art form and constantly surprising me. You are the standard and I only hope I made you proud. To the silent team who helped me get ready for this - - THANK YOU. Also, so much of Nina is my best friend - thank you for every conversation and cry and laugh over these last 22 years, and thank you for being by my side now.
