    So happy to see her rightfully get her flowers seeing as how she paved the way for a lot of young, queer people. Her run on drag race is legendary and she’s inspired generations and generations of drag queens. She doesnt reference, she is the reference; the blueprint!

      You know she was remembering conversations she had with her AS7 queen competitors and what they told her about watching season 3 and the impact her art and her spirit had on them over a decade ago. These are queens who then went on to also win a season of Drag Race! How could she not be moved by that. They may not have the same aesthetic or point of view as her, but that is irrelevant; she inspired them to pursue, display and celebrate their art and in doing so they found themselves. And that is profound. Raja is and always will be an icon, a legend, a star.

    She's someone who you can't replace easily in the drag scene. There are many fashion, glam and camp queens but there's something in her that is exclusive to herself. Her and Manila are prominent in Asian drag. They could've won the season tie as they have the same skillset but they see drag in different lenses.
