Haus of Fuschia queen, Amber, believes that drag is the ultimate celebration of self-expression, boundary-breaking, and joy. More than just performance, it is the courage to amplify who you are—or who you aspire to be—without apology.

Every look, every transformation, and every moment on stage becomes an opportunity to embrace authenticity, challenge expectations, and inspire others to express themselves freely. Through drag, Amber celebrates individuality while reminding others that confidence and self-expression deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Meet Amber (Amber Malenab), as they share how drag has become a powerful reflection of identity, creativity, and unapologetic self-expression.

Haus of Fuchsia queen, Silver, believes that drag is more than a performance, rather, it is an art that channels creativity into a powerful expression of identity, resilience, and authenticity.

Every look and every performance is a chance to celebrate who they are while honoring the LGBTQIA+ pioneers who have paved the way for greater visibility and equality. Drag becomes both a personal expression and a reminder that living unapologetically and embracing each other's differences is something to be celebrated, never hidden.

The Haus of Fuchsia queen Kattie Kouture, sees drag as more than the makeup and the outfits—it is a space where confidence, storytelling, and authenticity come together. "Drag, to me, is freedom. It’s a space where I can express every part of myself without limits. It’s not just about the makeup or the outfits. It’s about confidence, storytelling, and celebrating authenticity. Every time I step into drag, I get to inspire others to embrace who they are unapologetically."

Haus of Fuchsia queen, Kokaine Stardust, believes drag is more than glitter, glamour, and performance—it is a reflection of identity, artistry, and the freedom to exist authentically.

To Kokaine Stardust, drag is about blurring gender expectations and embracing self-expression in all its forms. "Rather it be female impersonation, androgynous drag, alternative drag, or drag kings. Just putting drag on is a political statement."
