Winning Miss Black Universe in 2017 placed her among an elite group of Black drag queens who have held that national title. She is one of the few queens to compete on three seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, demonstrating longevity and fan support. Her Snatch Game performance as Wendy Williams on season 11 is frequently cited by fans and critics as one of the franchise's best. Being named Texan of the Year by Dallas Voice in 2019 recognized her influence on the local LGBTQ community.
