Much like her namesake, Harriet Tugsman is a historical icon. Serving through the decades, her rise to stardom began on the Rockbar stage, where she pioneered their first all-Black drag experience, Friendly Black Hotties. Harriet’s powerhouse performances made her a fan favorite for Mx. Rockbar 2022 and won her the crown in 2023. Dedicated to making space for other Black + POC queens, she continues to shine onstage weekly—hosting We the People every Friday at Albatross and Skinny Brunch every Sunday at Hardware. You can also find them on their podcast Wait. Take Me Off Speaker.
