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.
