More than 12 years after her dazzling breakout performance in season four of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Latrice Royale is easily one of the most influential drag queens. She’s performed all over the country, had a Las Vegas residency and starred in the fourth season of “RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.” Latrice's latest project is co-hosting Season 4 of HBO's “We’re Here," streaming on Max.
Beyond her playful, bright eyeshadow and bold personality, Latrice was eager to talk about why being a drag queen is deeply important to her life's work when I sat down with her on "Salon Talks." "I owe everything to this art form," she shared. "I wouldn't be sitting here without this art form. I was able to regain my power through the art of drag."
