Who Is RuPaul's Drag Race's Tamisha Iman?

Writer Sophia Bowman

When it comes to doing Drag Race, she's a little nervous about how her age will affect her chances, given that she has "at least thirty years on the girls." She tells VH1, "In my prime, I could have taken on anyone. Thirty years later, I can't do the things that I used to do. I'm smart enough to know how to still play the game and win, but nevertheless I just wish the 25-year-old Tamisha would have signed up and got on the show." (If you're interested, you can watch Tamisha Iman's 1996 Miss National Talent Competition performance, when she was about 25, here.)

Now, 50 years old, Tamisha Iman has over 60 living drag children and has more than thirty who are no longer with us. When she found out that her drag daughter LaLa Ri was on the show, she said, "That was really amazing... I was so proud."
