Drag Race season 14 “is how it’s supposed to be”, according to trans queens Kerri Colby and Kornbread “The Snack” Jeté.

Kerri and Kornbread are among the 14 queens vying for Drag Race‘s $100,000 prize and the coveted title of America’s next drag superstar.

Both queens are trans women hailing from Los Angeles, marking the first time Drag Race has cast two out trans women in a regular American season, and are guaranteed to make waves in the competition with their bold, vivacious personalities.

Ahead of the start of the new series, the season 14 queens sat down with Entertainment Weekly to spill all the hot tea and what fans could expect from the competition. Kerri and Kornbread also discussed the influence of the trans community in drag and trans representation in the franchise.

“There’s so much of drag that has been influenced by trans women over the years, especially trans women of colour,” Kerri said.

She continued: “I’m so glad that we have that opportunity to showcase it, but not just like be a trendsetter but also open that door so we can just keep it going.

“This is how it’s supposed to be.”
