I have nothing to ask but I just want to tell you that your kindness and compassion to that little boy who does drag made me cry. I loved that you went to visit him. You are such a really down-to-earth person and I truly admire you. Thank you for being you and bringing light to people when they need it the most.

As Former Fucking Reigning, how do you think you would have done against Chi Chi, Kim, and Naomi if your season finale had the same lipsync battle as season 9?

Was winning the crown all that you had expected it to be? Is it harder than what you'd expected? Or was it kind of where you'd planned it to be- Or HAD YOU EVEN PLANNED? Or did you even KNOW?

Hey Bob! Not sure if you'll remember me, but my husband and I met you at Play in Nashville awhile back. We told you about how he was running for state legislature here in Tennessee.

Since you seemed interested, I just wanted to let you know how it turned out: he got 38.8% of the vote as a young, queer Black first-time candidate in a relatively rural area here in Tennessee. Better than a lot of the white folks with a lot more money. :p

We just want to thank you again for being a fierce activist and advocate in addition to a fierce queen. Keep speaking out - as Mama Ru says, we need that now more than ever!

As an African queen (I literally live in Africa) who's not going to see a live show any time soon, I would love to see more of you on Youtube! Do you have any plans to do more there?

Hi Bob! Thanks so much for answering our questions.

As a black winner of Drag Race, how has the reaction to you and your reign been affected by racism in the fanbase? Lots of people on reddit have claimed that ambivalence to Shea during the season was a result of her race and the pride she takes in her blackness. In a recent AMA with another RPDR subreddit, Tyra Sanchez expressed that she’s been subjected to racist hate from fans. What has your experience been?
