'RuPaul’s Drag Race' superstar BeBe Zahara Benet spills the tea

The hit American television reality show"RuPaul’s Drag Race" has captivated audiences across the world for just over 11 years and has garnered something of a cult following.

We asked BeBe a few questions about life, drag, the Black Lives Matter movement and what’s next on the horizon for her.“I’m holding up as best I can, trying to stay healthy, keeping my mind creative among the craziness. “It’s been a beautiful experience being able to travel, meet different people, different races, cultures, points of view, and just connect with people, hearing their stories and entertaining them.“But I always say that while 'Drag Race' is amazing, it gave me a platform, but it didn’t give me a career.”“'Drag Race' doesn’t give you a career. It gives you a platform.

“With regards to Black Lives Matter , I feel that we still need to have a lot of conversations around it. “I do believe that me winning or having this incredible platform has given people encouragement and an opportunity for people to come forward and celebrate themselves – this is who I am. Drag is a form of entertainment, it’s my work and craft.

"I would love to have an African drag race, but I feel that it’s important that we even just do shows in Africa.Tell us more about your television show,"Dragnificent!".“We come to bring some joy, some light into the lives of people who need it most.
