Meet LavendHER Diamond, a local Métis drag queen BIcon who loves to dance the house down, bedazzle anything in front of her and is a proud member of the Haus of Diamond. LavendHER has been dancing since she was just a tot and has had a fascination with drag since she was a young teen. She has now been taking YQR drag shows in by storm for about two years and enjoys incorporating fun colours and patterns, high energy dance moves, showgirl elements and goofy pop culture moments into her numbers. Lav strives to help people in her community feel seen and welcomed and is a great gal to have a laugh with. Grab your sunnies because you're going to need them looking at this shining Diamond!
