“From internet personality to A-list drag queen,” Devereaux official character description reads.

“Her greatest talent is flaunting this wave of success. Her ruthless competitiveness is what keeps her on top.”

Shangie is also set to star in an upcoming reality series with Bob The Drag Queen and Eureka called We’re Here for HBO, bringing a little drag to small towns across the United States.
