About our guest: Hailing from Moss Point, Mississippi, Silky Nutmeg Ganache has established her presence and legacy through the Emmy Award winning show RuPaul’s Drag Race. Appearing on three seasons - RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6 - as well as Canada’s Drag Race, Canada VS the world - Silky has managed to be the finalist on 2 seasons. She currently holds the record of Most Lip Syncs won (9 Collectively).

Silky is also referred to as “The Reverend Doctor Silky Nutmeg Ganache,” due to her Masters Degree in Organizational Leadership and current pursuit of becoming a doctor in Philosophy. Education is the single thing in life that no one could ever take away from you. That was the message ingrained in Silky by her 86 year-old educator-grandmother.

Finding inspiration for her name while watching The Food Network, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, describes herself as a southern bell who speaks the truth and will always lend a helping hand. As a child, Silky was obsessed with the Food Network. While other children were tuned in to cartoons, Silky was tuned in to Emeril Lagasse instead.

Like many others, Silky sees the importance and responsibility of being a drag entertainer. When asked about her legacy, Silky shared, "I want everyone to know that as drag queens, we are greater than entertainers. We are doctors, lawyers, politicians, educators, etc. I hope to be the example through my accomplishments in education and through the many people I’ve enrolled and inspired to pursue higher education."
