“What an honor to find the franchise team drag race as host of the very first edition of Drag Race Belgium ! Belgium, where I lived a few years ago to complete my university studies, has always had a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to meet my Belgian colleagues. The Belgian drag scene is wonderful and I feel privileged to contribute to its influence. From the beginning of my career, I wanted to democratize the art of drag and make this wonderful, magical universe accessible to everyone. To see that today, I manage to continue this mission beyond the borders, it is the most beautiful thing that there is. It’s a dream come true,” said Rita Baga.
The spread of Drag Race Belgium is scheduled for 2023.
