SESSIONS w/PeterAnthonii:
Witty, Raw and Informative Interviews with Influential Humans.
Queen of queens and a staple in the Miami gay scene, Tiffany Fantasia is one of the busiest drag queens in the business. Widely known for standing up in the face of hate in front of thousands of people by singing What God Has For Me, It Is For Me during the 2015 Miami Beach Pride festival, Tiffany has become one of the most well-known drags in the industry. From hosting sold out brunches at the iconic Palace South Beach to being an active board member for the Miami Beach Pride organization and performing on stages across the country it seems like Tiffany never stops. But don’t worry! We tracked this greasy bitch down for a few moments to find out what she’s been up to.

Long story but Tiffany was given to me by Brandy the first person to do my makeup and everyone started calling me Fantasia so it became my last name.

My friends wanted to do something fun and I went along with it. I had no desire to be in drag prior to my friends doing it. I always loved performing so that’s why I love drag so much.

Music, mainly all the R&B divas.

How has the gay scene in Miami changed over the years? Is it better or worse?
