Reaching a goal
dallasvoice.comAshantee headed for Miss Gay USofA Classic after 10+ years of work DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Ashantee de Foxx has been working to reach the Miss Gay USofA pageant since 2008.
She said it’s a goal she’s never stopped working for: “My drag life will be complete.” Locally, Ashantee is in the Area 111 cast, has performed at Caliente with Nikki Loren and at various local drag brunch events with Jenni P.
She has also, she said, worked on cruise ships and appeared on America’s Got Talent. She’s performed at Midtown Moon in Atlanta, and she’s been to Miami to rehearse with dancers.
And she’s participated in pageants — lots of them. In 2017 Ashantee won the Miss Black Continental Klassic, and in 2018 she won the Virginia-based Miss Gay United States Icon contest.
