Biography
Hera Hoffer, best known under the stage name Jinkx Monsoon, is an American drag queen, actress, singer, and comedian.

In 2022, with an all-winners cast, she later won the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, becoming the first two-time winner of the show across its iterations.
