S2 EP 12: Miss Continental with Zhané Dawlingz

In this episode, Dextra and Blue talk about all things Continental, the drag excellence pageant that takes place annually in Chicago. Continental is known for finding winners with Star Quality. Former winners include Naysha Lopez, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Miss Continental Forever, Sunny Dee Lite, and none other than Sasha Colby. Blue and Dextra break down the Miss Continental contract and speak with special guest, Miss Continental 2024 herself, Zhané Dawlingz.

Zhané Dawlingz has been performing in the nightclub/bar scene as a local entertainer in Columbus, Ohio for 9 years. Zhané gains influence for her talents through her appreciation for pageantry, fashion, and pop culture. A couple of her most recent accomplishments were presenting a 12-piece collection at Columbus Fashion Week 2021 and playing Kathy in 9 to 5 at “The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio” which was their second-highest-grossing musical. As a proud representative of the Black and Trans community she is happy to share that coming at the end of September she will be headlining her own production show at Axis nightclub!
