Evening Event “The Vixen”

Performance by The Vixen and Open-Mic Drag Show

Grand Ballroom (2nd floor) 7:15 p.m.–9:30 p.m.

The Vixen is a multitalented performer dedicated to making the world a better place. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, she has always intertwined her art with social justice and activism. An accomplished drag queen, songwriter, fashion designer, and dancer, she credits her creative family for her love of the arts. As a student at Columbia College in Chicago, the Vixen learned the makeup skills it took to create her growing drag persona. After turning 21, she quickly gained attention in the Chicago drag scene for her athletic performance style.

Through hard work and dedication, the Vixen has become an influential member of Chicago’s gay community—interviewed by many publications for her unique style and outspoken viewpoint. As a rapper, her bold lyrics and intricate delivery have earned her national attention for her show-stopping collaborations. Her proudest achievement is creating BlackGirlMagic, a drag concert where queens of color can celebrate their unique experiences through storytelling and performance. The Vixen lives by her grandmother’s belief that helping others makes life worthwhile.

The Vixen’s CCCC 2023 performance will feature dance and spoken word and an open-mic drag show following. So, Queens or Kings, if you want to add your name to the roster for open-mic drag night, please send your name, song, and a list of any props you’ll be using (this is a BYOP performance, by the way) to our MC, Dr. Tommy at tmayberr@ualberta.ca before midnight on January 23, 2023.
