Drag Race star Sasha Colby wins Drag Hero at GAY TIMES Honours 2023
Sasha Colby is the recipient of the GAY TIMES Honour for Drag Hero. Back in January, the Hawaiian queen finally – we repeat, finally! – graced the RuPaul’s Drag Race werkroom, where she became an instant frontrunner for the crown.
One of the drag community’s most revered entertainers, Sasha memorably conquered Miss Continental and went viral on various occasions – most notably with her Beyoncé medley from 2014 and performance at Sasha Velour’s Nightgowns.
Sasha more than lived up to her name with four maxi-challenge wins – more than any other competitor – and was later crowned ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar, making herstory in the process as the first trans women of colour to win the series.
When Sasha covered GAY TIMES in March, she said: “I’m not trying to sound verbose or anything, but I think Drag Race needed someone like me.
