To me, Jungle Kitty is a frame of mind where you don’t apologize for who you are. You’re very ferocious, you’re a free spirit, you’re outgoing. You don’t conform to labels. It’s really that side of me… she’s so regal and she’s so royal. BeBe Zahara Benet Read Quote
I feel like I am just an entertainer. It does not matter what form I take to perform and entertain. I think I deserve being called a performer because you don’t call Tyler Perry a drag queen. You don’t call Will Smith a drag queen and all the other mainstream artists who use the aesthetic of drag to entertain. BeBe Zahara Benet Read Quote
I feel like when you call us drag queens, it stereotypes us. It puts us as labels and I feel like we are performers. BeBe Zahara Benet Read Quote

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, all of these artists that we do love – you see so much of what we do, the personas, makeup, hair, fashion – like, all of is now incorporated in pop culture, and a lot of it has to do with drag, because we over-exaggerate everything, right? We take it out to the next level. BeBe Zahara Benet Read Quote
Jungle Kitty is one of the colors of my persona that allows me to be free, allows to be untamed, allows me to have fun and let loose and be ferocious, raw, unapologetic, and carefree. BeBe Zahara Benet Read Quote
