Sasha Colby, a trans woman and drag performer, is one of 16 drag queens to appear on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Sasha Colby has already been identified as the contestant to beat, even though the competition hasn’t started yet. Since its debut season in 2009, RuPaul’s Drag Race has grown from a series on Logo to an international franchise with locations in countries including Australia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom.
Several contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race, including season 14 champion Willow Pill, have made significant career strides since competing on the show.
In the twenty years since she first entered the world of drag, Sasha, beloved mother of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 contestant Kerri Colby, has amassed an incredible resume.
