Activist, Gen-Z influencer, keynote speaker, teen drag queen — at age 19 Ophelia’s message has been clear from the start. It's about about love, acceptance and the spotlight.
Life for this Gen-Z youth hasn’t always been easy, as Ophelia hasn't always had support from her family or peers. However something changed on her thirteenth birthday... Ophelia asked for a Drag Queen themed party.
Dressed in a secondhand prom dress with a rhinestone tiara, Ophelia stepped into her future. Drag turned this Cinderella into a QUEEN and she's been unstoppable ever since!
While the stage-name Ophelia is reserved for the spotlight, she looks upon her Drag as a superhero persona. Her love for performing and public speaking has enabled Ophelia to become a voice for youth like her, who have yet to find their sparkle.
Raised in a cabin in the mountains of Colorado, Jameson has become one of the most powerful queer voices of Generation Z. Jameson entered this world untethered by gender norms and has blossomed into a fearless genderbending icon, undeterred by society's pressure to conform.
Currently featured in a series on HBOMAX & Discovery+, Jameson speaks openly about how they discovered their genderfluidity, and found support in unlikely places.
Repeatedly featured in Teen Vogue as a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ equality, Jameson is unapologetically human. This young leader uses humor and humility to connect with audiences, who magically fall in love with this exceptional being.

This is a photo from my 13th birthday (the first time I ever was a drag queen). This is the moment I met the amazing Queen who would become my mama; Ginger Douglas. Thank you mama for teaching me that it's most important to be family, to care for others, and to be the best ME that I can.
