Meet the team behind The Drag Collective

“We as drag artists are the pillars & voices of our commUNITY! It is my personal mission. I want to ensure that as a collective we will be able to create. We also aim to inspire on a much wider scale. We will do this with a genuine focus and all inclusiveness.”

“I saw a need to support the drag artists in my community. Those who are new to drag aren’t taught about how to merge art and business. My goal is to help performers earn an equitable income while doing what they love.”
Connie Zeller
Chief Operations Officer
& Co-Founder

“As I started to perform as Anita K. Sadilla, I realized my background in large-scale entertainment could revolutionize the business of local drag. My mission is to work hand-in hand with the community to create safer, more inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive!”
