Who Is RuPaul's Drag Race's Sonique?

Sonique, also known as Kylie Sonique Love, made her first foray into TV with the second season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" back in 2010 (via IMDb). A trans woman, Sonique was the first contestant on the show to come out as trans — during a reunion show (via TV Guide) — and has opened up about her past experiences, which include coming out to her mother at fifteen and being sent to military school, and being teased and bullied by other kids while growing up in Albany, Georgia.

She started to build her reputation as a drag queen in Atlanta, her drag mother being prominent local drag queen The Goddess Raven (via Albany Herald) before featuring on "Drag Race," and since then hasn't strayed too far from the public eye. She's appeared on stage with the likes of Miley Cyrus (via MTV) and Christina Aguilera (via Billboard), and in a music video for Lizzo's smash hit "Juice" (via YouTube). Not only that but, per Deadline, she's also a co-host of "Translation," the first major-network talk show hosted by an entirely transgender cast.
