Caption : People are always talking about how they want this Aja to come back. But the truth is in this era of my life I was not being authentic to myself, and I kept formfitting myself to be something I wasn’t because I felt so unloved for being who I was I created this character that I knew to world with love, and it was, the true pinnacle of my artistry. Taking things that I saw people loved and styling it to myself. Now that I am fully realizing who I really am though. I know that it would be a different story. I look back and see the way that this turned into the infamous “burlesque rapper” era and I cringe, because I don’t think that that was some thing that I really wanted either. I think all I really wanted was to be seen as a woman and not a person who is performing the caricatures of a woman. But I was in such denial. I often feel that this era of my artistry ruined a lot of my career and pushed away thousands and maybe even hundreds of thousands of fans I’ve watched slowly over the past few years as I ago from almost hitting 1, million followers on Instagram to pinching back down and the constant commentary about “ didn’t she quit?” And such. My one confession today is that I really wish I would have had the resources to overcome my gender, dysphoria and privacy, and not made my struggles so public. I often wonder how differently it would affect my career today. Nonetheless, I am very proud of the woman I have become and I hope one day those hundreds of thousands of fans that I have lost can look back and learn to love me again. Because as it stands, I feel like compared to before it is much more a few people who are supporting my artistry at the moment, and it has led to a lot of me doubting the future of my artistry but with that I say, I will stay and stand strong. I know that I have not hit my peak yet as I get ready to load my next era, I said buckle up kids. This one is for you. 💛✨🩸

Caption : Here’s a peep into the studio adventure with @luxxnoirlondon earlier this week! 🎶✨ It’s always a joy to witness Drag Race sister like her embracing ballroom culture and tastefully incorporating it into her performances. I’ve often pondered reaching out to her for a little vogue session, to share the essence and history of ballroom, and delve into the art of performance. Luxx’s enthusiasm and openness to learning truly warmed my heart! 💖 From cunty breakdowns to combos, we delved deep into the five elements of vogue, and by the end of our two-hour session, her confidence in her vogue soared to new heights. 🌟 I couldn’t be prouder of her growth and willingness to learn more. In a community where some may shy away from discussing their involvement with ballroom, Luxx’s humble and open approach was truly refreshing. 🌹✨ Here’s a glimpse into our empowering session together, filled with laughter, learning, and honestly a whole ki! Can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next.

Caption : 🌟 Embracing the beauty of collaboration and respect, I want to express my gratitude to @denalifoxx for her incredible journey alongside me in the studio, exploring the nuances of Vogue with passion and dedication. Amidst discussions about Drag Race and Voguing, our focus remains on those who welcome growth and enlightenment rather than focusing on critique.🎨💫 From her memorable lip sync to her commitment to self-improvement through classes, Denali’s evolution is truly inspiring. 💖 A heartwarming moment at the ice-skating rink revealed her nurturing spirit as she shared moments with children and parents, earning admiration from all. 🌈✨ It’s a joy to witness the power of understanding and cooperation. Denali’s embrace of ballroom culture is authentic and deep-rooted, evident in her support for local talent and pursuit of integrity. Let’s celebrate @denalifoxx’s reverence for ballroom and her unwavering dedication as she shines brightly on her path of passion and respect. 💛👏🏽

Caption : Once upon a time, in the heart of Brooklyn, there lived a fierce butch queen of the drags named Aja. Seven years ago, amidst rumors and local buzz, she was announced to grace the stage of Season Nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Some debated her potential as a frontrunner, but her influence on drag aesthetics was undeniable. With her signature freckled makeup and Marcel waves in lavender and pastel, she reshaped the very essence of drag. On television, Aja captured hearts with her charm and wit, even amidst whispers of jealousy and Facetune. One unforgettable moment was when she dubbed a fellow contestant the ethereal Linda Evangelista, captivating audiences with her humor and style. But her journey didn’t end there. Through the magic of estrogen, she embarked on a transformation from butch queen to femme goddess, embracing her true self with courage and grace. Returning to the spotlight, Aja radiated empowerment and liberation, a beacon of hope for self-discovery. Her journey, marked by the unwavering support of her loyal fans, serves as a testament to the transformative power of self-love. In the realm of drag, Aja’s story shines like a fairy tale spun from the threads of dreams, forever etched in the hearts of those who dare to believe in the magic of authenticity and transformation. 💛😘

Caption : To my cherished supporters, As I see the vibrant photos and joyful faces from DragCon, a deep sense of longing wells up within me. I yearn to be there, amidst the glitter and glam, surrounded by the energy and love that only such a space can bring. I miss it all profoundly. I miss the electrifying meet and greets, the comfort of being home every few months, the certainty of tomorrow’s meal. Each glimpse of joy and celebration stirs a fire in me, pushing me to work ten times harder to reclaim my place. Witnessing the collaborations, the Love Ball, and other breathtaking shows ignites a spark in my heart. That’s where I aspire to be once more, basking in the glory of the stage, a Drag superstar in my element. The past six years have been a tumultuous journey. My biggest regret is the public unraveling of my struggles with gender identity and the hasty declarations about quitting drag. That news spread like wildfire, casting shadows that I still struggle to escape. Growing up in the hood instilled in me a fierce defensiveness, and I handled situations poorly. But I was young, just 24 when these revelations began. I was 26 when I stepped away from drag, 27 when I began my transition. Now at 30, I marvel at how swiftly time has flown. Yet, in finding and accepting myself, in rediscovering my love for the art of drag, the news was met with silence, not the celebration I had hoped for. I feel like I have stumbled terribly, and my stubborn nature has only compounded my mistakes. I am human, flawed and earnest, and it feels as though I am constantly paying for my past. I wish the journey to authenticity didn’t come with such a heavy price. I adore the life I’ve curated, but my soul yearns to be a drag superstar again, to perform, to feel the heat of the spotlight, and to travel the world. I miss it all so much. In my heart, I remain vulnerable and transparent with you, my supporters. I will forever be sorry for any words or actions that pushed you away. If I could, I would have navigated my struggles differently. Until then, all I can do is hope for a brighter, more understanding future. 💛

Caption : In contemplating the delicate balance between personal reflection and the public domain, I have often grappled with the notion of social media as a confidant versus a curated facade. Today, however, I find myself compelled to share a profound moment of vulnerability. Today, I received a call from my sister bearing the somber news of my biological mother’s passing. At a mere 46 years old, her departure leaves me grappling with a myriad of emotions. Despite being separated by the circumstances of adoption at a tender age, our paths converged later in life, affording me the opportunity to know her intimately only in my adulthood. Yet, her untimely demise evokes a complex fusion of sentiments within me. While our time together was relatively brief, the realization that our connection has been abruptly severed fills me with an indescribable sense of loss. It is a paradox of sorts – to mourn the absence of a relationship that I had only begun to cultivate, yet to cherish the fleeting moments we did share. I am acutely aware of the privilege bestowed upon me by fate, granting me the chance to meet her and to bask in the warmth of her love, albeit for a limited span of time. For this, I am profoundly grateful. Regrettably, I must concede that my efforts to reciprocate her earnest desire for connection were often tempered by the walls I have erected around my heart. Despite her unwavering affection and acceptance, I struggled to bridge the chasm that separated us, a testament to the intricacies of human relationships. As I bid farewell to my biological mother, I am reminded of the fragility of life and the impermanence of our earthly bonds. In her memory, I vow to cherish the moments we shared and to honor her legacy by embracing the connections that enrich my life, however fleeting they may be. Farewell, dear mother, Ibae Bayeb Tonu Linda 🕯️🫶🏽💛. May our spirits intertwine in the ethereal realms, where perhaps, we shall forge the bond of friendship that eluded us in this lifetime. Until then, your memory shall reside eternally in the chambers of my heart. 💛👯‍♀️

Caption : In contemplating the delicate balance between personal reflection and the public domain, I have often grappled with the notion of social media as a confidant versus a curated facade. Today, however, I find myself compelled to share a profound moment of vulnerability. Today, I received a call from my sister bearing the somber news of my biological mother’s passing. At a mere 46 years old, her departure leaves me grappling with a myriad of emotions. Despite being separated by the circumstances of adoption at a tender age, our paths converged later in life, affording me the opportunity to know her intimately only in my adulthood. Yet, her untimely demise evokes a complex fusion of sentiments within me. While our time together was relatively brief, the realization that our connection has been abruptly severed fills me with an indescribable sense of loss. It is a paradox of sorts – to mourn the absence of a relationship that I had only begun to cultivate, yet to cherish the fleeting moments we did share. I am acutely aware of the privilege bestowed upon me by fate, granting me the chance to meet her and to bask in the warmth of her love, albeit for a limited span of time. For this, I am profoundly grateful. Regrettably, I must concede that my efforts to reciprocate her earnest desire for connection were often tempered by the walls I have erected around my heart. Despite her unwavering affection and acceptance, I struggled to bridge the chasm that separated us, a testament to the intricacies of human relationships. As I bid farewell to my biological mother, I am reminded of the fragility of life and the impermanence of our earthly bonds. In her memory, I vow to cherish the moments we shared and to honor her legacy by embracing the connections that enrich my life, however fleeting they may be.

Caption : Last time I’m posting because I am half way to my goal and am not interested in making it a thing 💛 thank you for your positivity 🫶🏽 Written by my daughter Davina: @hyperbolethequeen Hello All, Ajá/Venus is a performance artist, runway model, spiritual leader and NY native. For over 10 years she has worked as an entertainer and her sustainability has relied on her body. Recently, she has had to spend time in and out of hospitals due to leg swelling and various other injuries. With expenses piling and being unable to perform as frequently, she’s switched to a part time day job and doing spiritual readings for some income. However this alone has not been enough to dig her out of the financial hole hospital visits and bills create. This woman does so much for many communities – LGBTQ folk, people wanting to explore and seek spiritual guidance, the ballroom community and more. She has opened her heart, her home and mind to guide, entertain and help so many people. Now she needs help and although she’s a public figure with these enormous talents life is not perfect for anyone. Attached below are ways to donate to her, please share this as much as possible and hopefully we can get her to a good place until she’s back up to 100% again. Venmo: @ajanyc PayPal/zelle: [email protected] Cash app: $ajaibukole PS (from Venus) I was in and out the hospital for 3 months straight and the medical people told me little to nothing, I am still dealing with really bad leg pain and what not which is why I have not been dancing or voguing much. I’ve been walking runway as a form of exercise still but sometimes I do feel pain still. I’m hoping to get answers soon but in all, the medical expenses and the travel to and from has been crazy on me as I am not working as much. Recently I have taken on a day job to rehabilitate my legs and keep things going however the debt from being in the hospital multiple times and seeing multiple specialists has been insane. I’m hoping my day job helps lighten the load as well. Any help is appreciated. Just trying to get back on track! I know I may seem like I’m living this life because social media but social media is not real life 🫶🏽

Caption : 🌟 An Open Statement 🌟 To my incredible supporters, I’ve seen the concerns regarding my recent stance on Anetra and ballroom culture. I want to address this one last time, as the ongoing narrative has become exhausting. My intention has always been to educate, not defend myself. It’s disheartening how the conversation has been skewed by selective sharing across different platforms, missing the educational aspects. As an Afro Latina deeply rooted in the ballroom scene since my teenage years, it’s more than just a dance—it’s been a lifeline for many, including myself. My issue isn’t personal against Anetra; initially, I reached out privately, but felt dismissed, which impacted my perspective. The toxic reactions labeling me as jealous miss the point. It’s not about competition but rather about protecting and giving back to a culture that sustains many. I’ve been met with hostility, threats, and even transphobia, which is unacceptable. I apologize if my approach seemed negative or reactive, especially if it affected Anetra or anyone deeply. However, I stand by my concerns about ballroom culture being exploited without giving back. This isn’t just about one individual—it’s about a broader issue. My aim isn’t to silence voices but to foster understanding. I plan to use my platform to highlight ballroom icons, legends, and educate those curious about the culture. Moving forward, I’m committed to changing how I address this issue. I appreciate those who’ve taken the time to understand. For those who won’t, I’ll continue striving for positive change. Thank you for your support and understanding. 💛 Venus / Aja 💛

Caption : 2023 dump Reflecting on the labyrinth that was 2023, it was a year teeming with a symphony of highs and lows. The depths plunged me into the shadowy embrace of depression and relentless anxiety, a tempest that raged with an unprecedented intensity, especially through the summer’s scorching days. Health anxiety soared, a relentless pulse against the canvas of my days. As someone navigating the journey with diagnosed bipolar disorder, the pendulum of extremes swung wider than ever before. Public scrutiny weighed heavily on my shoulders, each opinion shared met with a cascade of backlash, a familiar refrain in a world sometimes unwilling to embrace divergence. The relentless whisper of gender dysphoria plagued my steps, clouding the mirror of self-perception, obscuring the truth that I was indeed navigating life’s tapestry with resilience. Amidst this maelstrom, moments of light shimmered through the veil of darkness. I rekindled my connection with the Orisha tradition, offering solace and support to my godchildren. Victory danced in my steps, gracing me with triumph at every ball I graced, culminating in my debut at the illustrious House of Miyake Mugler. Love found its way into my home as my boyfriend and I began our shared journey, warmly embraced by his family’s open arms. I stood unwaveringly in defense of ballroom’s essence, applauded by my community for upholding its integrity on a public platform. The embrace of a day job marked a milestone, a testament to life’s evolving chapters. Domesticity whispered its allure, granting me the serenity I’ve always craved. 2023 revealed an essential truth: my mortality may tether me, but it does not define my limits. It taught me the resilience inherent in my spirit, navigating storms, weathering false accusations, and emerging unbroken. As I welcome the dawn of 2024, I carry with me the unyielding resolve to ascend above discord and needless conflict, a testament to my unstoppable nature. Here’s to 2024 🫶🏽💛

Victory danced in my steps, gracing me with triumph at every ball I graced, culminating in my debut at the illustrious House of Miyake Mugler. Love found its way into my home as my boyfriend and I began our shared journey, warmly embraced by his family’s open arms. I stood unwaveringly in defense of ballroom’s essence, applauded by my community for upholding its integrity on a public platform. The embrace of a day job marked a milestone, a testament to life’s evolving chapters. Domesticity whispered its allure, granting me the serenity I’ve always craved. 2023 revealed an essential truth: my mortality may tether me, but it does not define my limits. It taught me the resilience inherent in my spirit, navigating storms, weathering false accusations, and emerging unbroken. As I welcome the dawn of 2024, I carry with me the unyielding resolve to ascend above discord and needless conflict, a testament to my unstoppable nature. Here’s to 2024 🫶🏽💛

Caption : Reflecting on tonight – Icon Queen MUVA Sinia Alaia & Ballroom Throwbacks Presents “Coldest Winter Ever 5” Whiteout”, where I walked Fem Queen runway amidst fab competition and electrifying energy, I’m reminded of the beauty in both victory and setback. While my winning streak may have taken a pause, it’s a pivotal moment for introspection and growth as I prepare to redefine myself for the challenges and triumphs of 2024. 💛 Stepping onto that runway, alongside the incredible talent of my peers, I embraced the opportunity to evolve, to learn, and to elevate my craft. Tonight was more than a competition; it was a testament to resilience, dedication, and the unyielding support of my community. I am endlessly grateful to the House of Miyake Mugler for their unwavering belief in me, for fueling my confidence, and for standing by my side through every strut and spin. To @ceasdaleo78 and @siniabraxton , whose impeccable taste and boundless creativity continue to inspire, thank you for orchestrating a night of pure magic. 👏🏽🥶 As I retreat to the lab to refine my artistry, I carry with me the lessons of tonight’s experience—the highs, the lows, and the invaluable moments of growth. Here’s to the journey ahead, to embracing change, and to never ceasing in the pursuit of excellence. 💛✨ Aja Miyake Mugler 🫶🏽

Caption : Reposting, because for some reason my post got taken down! Please do not report my post 💛 – I think that’s just cruel. Written by my daughter Davina: @hyperbolethequeen Hello All, Ajá/Venus is a performance artist, runway model, spiritual leader and NY native. For over 10 years she has worked as an entertainer and her sustainability has relied on her body. Recently, she has had to spend time in and out of hospitals due to leg swelling and various other injuries. With expenses piling and being unable to perform as frequently, she’s switched to a part time day job and doing spiritual readings for some income. However this alone has not been enough to dig her out of the financial hole hospital visits and bills create. This woman does so much for many communities – LGBTQ folk, people wanting to explore and seek spiritual guidance, the ballroom community and more. She has opened her heart, her home and mind to guide, entertain and help so many people. Now she needs help and although she’s a public figure with these enormous talents life is not perfect for anyone. Attached below are ways to donate to her, please share this as much as possible and hopefully we can get her to a good place until she’s back up to 100% again. Venmo: @ajanyc PayPal/zelle: [email protected] Cash app: $ajaibukole PS (from Venus) I was in and out the hospital for 3 months straight and the medical people told me little to nothing, I am still dealing with really bad leg pain and what not which is why I have not been dancing or voguing much. I’ve been walking runway as a form of exercise still but sometimes I do feel pain still. I’m hoping to get answers soon but in all, the medical expenses and the travel to and from has been crazy on me as I am not working as much. Recently I have taken on a day job to rehabilitate my legs and keep things going however the debt from being in the hospital multiple times and seeing multiple specialists has been insane. I’m hoping my day job helps lighten the load as well. Any help is appreciated. Just trying to get back on track! I know I may seem like I’m living this life because social media but social media is not real life 🫶🏽
