Not to take it to a dark place, I just had limited options.
When I say its life-changing, thats what I mean.

Id never seen it happen on the show before so…
I just went with my feeling.

No, it certainly hasnt.

Youve been one of this years most interesting lip sync-ers, for sure.
I know how bad she wanted to win.
There was a rivalry between us.

Did you head into the lip sync thinking you were going to win against Trinity?No way!
I knew it was going to be a good fight.
Trinity is a stellar performer and shes got a lot of tricks that I just dont have…
Your placement as runner-up still has huge significance.
Im certainly not the only one, and I wont be the last.
There are so many limited opportunities and roadblocks and barriers, particularly for trans women of color.
When I say its life-changing, thats what I mean.
Its dark, but important.
I dont look at it as a burden.
Its not even a duty, its my desire to help my community have a better life.
Eat your words, bitch!
Ill cook it up for you.
Youre serving already!Im serving it, honey!
There have been plenty of naysayers and people with doubts.
I dont want to alienate them by throwing it back in their face.
Hopefully she and other people will learn.
Its time we change the trajectory.
I also want to talk aboutthe reunion.
I wanted her to let her fans know, once and for all, that it wasnt appropriate.
Thats what my urge was.
I think that was clear that was your intention.
