Onya Nurve is the freshest face to join the legendary RuPaul's Drag Race winner's circle and she's certainly among fabulous company.
While attending the grand opening for The Tryst Puerto Vallarta, All Stars 5 champion Shea Couleé congratulated Nurve on her sickening run and for securing the season 17 crown.
"I'm so proud of Onya Nurve! That charisma was off the charts. It was wonderful to watch! It is such an incredible sisterhood. I love these girls and I love welcoming new sisters into the winner's circle. Onya Nurve, welcome sis! You did the damn thing," Couleé tells PRIDE.
One classic Drag Race phrase is that the real race begins once the show has wrapped and Couleé is the perfect personification of that sentiment.
The talented queen has walked in sickening fashion shows, toured around the world, and even landed a role in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show Ironheart.
"Honestly, I just always want to focus on gratitude. I'm so thankful for every opportunity [where] I can step into spaces that I've never been in before and represent the community. It really does mean a lot to me!"
The world is certainly Couleé's oyster as she continues to expand her career with her warmth, kindness, and determination to bring LGBTQ+ visibility to spaces that desperately need it.
"My parents always told me that the best thing that I could ever do would be to have a positive impact on the world. Literally today, I was just like, 'It's so fun being gay!' I feel like I live one of the most fulfilling lives and it's incredible."
