Things you should know about BOA

Her drag name “BOA” is actually her real last name and nickname growing up. BOA is also an acronym for “Bitch on Arrival".
BOA was a victim of a violent hate crime when she first moved to Toronto. The community rallied behind her and their support helped her recover and heal. She also used this opportunity to speak out and advocate against violence in the community
BOA is a sober queen. Last year, she hit her lowest of lows and made the vow to quit drinking! She is actively working on her addiction by focusing all of her energy on drag with the help of her partner and the support of her friends, family, and fellow drag sisters
Although she doesn’t consider herself a comedy queen, she tends to grab attention of her audiences with goofy mannerisms and quick wit on a mic, but put her in a 3” block heel and she'll high kick and cartwheel!

In her own words…

"I love drag because it gives me the opportunity to be my authentic, goofy self and bring my audience happiness. When an audience is happy, so am I! I like my drag to allow people to let loose, have fun, laugh and forget about all the negativity in the world."
