About Drag Queen Priyanka

Priyanka aka Mark Suknanan is the first drag queen of Indian origin to win a Drag Race in the show's entire history. Mark's journey as a drag queen began in 2017 after receiving encouragement from a fellow drag queen Xtacy Love. She initially adopted the stage name Priyanka Love but eventually dropped "love" and retained the mononym Priyanka. She is known for her famous liner "What's My Name? My name's Priyanka". Before getting into a career as a drag queen, Mark was working on a children's TV program. She is also a member of Toronto's LGBT community and is active as an LGBT rights activist. Priyanka also said that her being on the cover is a representation on all fronts because of his Indo-Guyanese descent and also as a person of colour.
