Who is your Black queer fashion icon?
Oh honey, my Black queer fashion icon is Miss Lawrence, baby. After we filmed Bros together, we were doing press for it in Toronto, Canada. Miss Lawrence came out there with a green Hermès crocodile pocketbook, honey. That bag had to be… I don’t even want to get into the digits, honey. She came through with a jacket that was so fashionable that those white people were gagging.
We walked through the Bulgari display and the people at Bulgari came running up, saying, “Would you like to try this? This necklace looks like it would fit you.” I was like, “It doesn’t look like it fits me because I got on a nice stretch piece.” [Laughs] Miss Lawrence came through that thing bedazzled! Wearing labels from head to toe. That is my fashion icon. Miss Lawrence, darling.
Who is your Black queer icon?
My Black queer icon is none other than mother, honey. Miss RuPaul Andre Charles.
What has been your proudest moment being Black and queer?
My proudest moment being Black and queer is being featured on Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. That album is my proudest moment because I was able to speak to the world. My voice has been heard all over the world. I have everybody chanting, “Bitch, I’m Black.” Whether you’re white, brown, whatever the color you are, honey, you are [singing] “dark brown, dark skin, light skin, beige, fluorescent beige, bitch. You’re Black!”
