Q: What makes you a burlesque icon?
A: I am a burlesque icon because of my transformative impact on the burlesque community and my ability to inspire generations of BIPOC performers. As the first Black international burlesque queen, I broke barriers with my performances alongside Dita Von Teese, at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and Tokyo, and through my award-winning career at the Burlesque Hall of Fame. I began my journey in burlesque in 2003, and over the years, my ritualistic and ancestral acts have paid homage to icons like Josephine Baker, the African Goddess Oshun, and the power of femininity. These performances have moved audiences to tears and standing ovations, often leaving them feeling healed and empowered.

Q: How do you incorporate spirituality and healing into burlesque?
