Hailing from Moss Point, Mississippi, Silky Nutmeg Ganache has established her presence and legacy through the Emmy Award winning show RuPaul’s Drag Race. Appearing on three seasons – Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 11, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6, and Candas Drag Race, Canada VS the world – Silky has managed to be the finalist on 2 seasons.
Silkys time on Drag Race was a truly enlightening experience. Silky is the self proclaimed “Lip Sync Guru” due to her assignation of contestants during the Lip Sync Smackdown on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6. She currently holds the record of Most Lip Syncs won (9 Collectively) with legendary performances to “Barbie Girl” by Aqua and “Nobody Suppose to be Here” by Deborah Cox.
Silky is also referred to as “The Reverend Doctor Silky Nutmeg Ganache,” due to her Masters Degree in Organizational Leadership and current pursuit of becoming a doctor in Philosophy. Education is the single thing in life that no one could ever take away from you. That was the message ingrained in Silky by her 86 year-old educator-grandmother.
Finding inspiration for her name while watching The Food Network, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, describes herself as a southern bell who speaks the truth and will always lend a helping hand. As a child, Silky was obsessed with the Food Network. While other children were tuned in to cartoons, Silky was tuned in to Emeril Lagasse instead.
Like many others, Silky sees the importance and responsibility of being a drag entertainer. When asked about her legacy, Silky shared, I want everyone to know that as drag queens, we are greater than entertainers. We are doctors, lawyers, politicians, educators, etc. I hope to be the example through my accomplishments in education and through the many people I’ve enrolled and inspired to pursue higher education.
Silky will spend the rest of 2023, touring the world, bringing her humor, essence, and sparkle to the masses. As she entertains the world, she will also continue her entrepreneurial spirit through her collection of Silky’s Bathbombs, Silky’s Self Care Kit, Silky Merchandise, and Silky’s Cocktails for a Queen cocktail recipe book that features her passion in mixology. All of her products can be found exclusively at silkyganache.com and ships worldwide.
