As a teenager, she discovered drag shortly after the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2009, an experience that inspired her to begin experimenting with makeup, fashion, and performance.

Her runway looks—particularly the powerful “Say Their Names” tribute honoring victims of racial injustice—received widespread acclaim and established her as one of the franchise’s most influential winners.

Following her victory, Symone expanded into modeling and fashion, appearing in campaigns for Calvin Klein, Savage X Fenty, and numerous luxury fashion publications.
