Celebrated queen extraordinaire, actress, singer,<br />

activist and influential central heroine in queer nightlife,<br />

Peppermint has raised the roof for sold out crowds all over<br />

the planet. She is now about to take over television screens<br />

everywhere with a barrage of lively and entertaining<br />

projects. After her success as the first trans contestant on<br />

the iconic RuPaul’s Drag Race (Season 9), she earned a role<br />

in Broadway’s hit Head Over Heels while also releasing six<br />

record albums, a tribute to Janet Jackson with her “Rhythm<br />

Nation” dance video, her live stage LA performance of A<br />

Transparent Musical, and so much more.<br />

Currently, Peppermint will be included in the second season<br />

of The Traitors, hosted by Alan Cumming and streaming<br />

on Peacock early this year. The Emmy nominated series is<br />

situated in a remote castle deep in the Scottish Highlands<br />

where 21 reality stars come together to complete a series of<br />

challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize of up<br />

to $250,000. She also has a recurring role in the comedian<br />

Michelle Buteau’s hilarious new Netflix series Survival of<br />

the Thickest, which premiered last summer. Available also<br />

on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube,<br />

and Vimeo is Peppermint’s first ever stand-up comedy<br />

special, So-SIGH-Ety Effects. Here, she invites you on a<br />

journey through New York City with a first hand look at what<br />

it’s like to be a single, Black, transgender woman in today’s<br />

society.<br />

Peppermint’s other accomplishments include hosting<br />

and presenting at the GLAAD Media Awards, as well as<br />

being nominated for her contribution to the Discovery and<br />

Legendary series. She is the first ACLU Artist Ambassador<br />

for Trans Justice, which has raised money and awareness<br />

for prominent LGBTQ rights groups, and has partnered with<br />

MAC cosmetics, which is involved in the HIV vaccine trials<br />

network. Peppermint also jumps at every opportunity to<br />

speak at universities and community groups regarding the<br />

challenges faced by transgender and non-binary people in<br />

today’s political climate.
