Tia Kofi hosts The Final FronTia, the new podcast where the worlds of Geeky-ness and Drag collide for an unforgettable experience. The Glamorous Geek will be joined by pop culture's biggest stars and the universe's top fans to talk about the moments that made them, behind the scenes tea and their geeky guilty pleasures.
Drag legend, lip sync assassin and self-described delusional star — Aja joins Tia Kofi on this episode of The Final FronTia!
A fan favourite from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9, All Stars 3 and All Stars 10, Aja has built a reputation as one of the most electric performers in drag - known for her fierce lip sync ability, burlesque background, and unfiltered honesty. With nearly 20 years of drag experience under her belt and a burlesque comeback in the works, she's entering what she calls her most confident era yet.
On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Aja dive deep into what it really takes to build a career after Drag Race — the handicaps built into the system, the queens who coast versus those who connect the dots, and the things that matter most when you step back into the werkroom.
