Carmen Carrera | Transgender Woman

Carmen Herrera was born in Elmwood, New Jersey, on April 13, 1985. She is a drag performer who has already made an appearance in the very popular RuPaul’s Drag Race. However, Herrera is not a total fan of the show because the actress once called out RuPaul for his transphobic comments.

Aside from RuPaul’s Drag Race, she earned numerous reality TV series credits, such as Real Housewives of New York City and Cake Boss. In 2013, her name was brought up to a petition, which aimed for Victoria’s Secret to hire and let her be the first transwoman ever to walk the world-renowned runway. The signature then received more than 35,000 signatures, but the lingerie company still failed to recognize the timely gesture.
