Career

After auditioning five times, every year since they started doing drag[9] [16] Couleé became one of 14 queens to compete on the ninth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[17] After portraying Naomi Campbell in the Snatch Game challenge, Campbell tweeted Couleé in approval.[18] Couleé won their first challenge in the fourth episode, alongside Sasha Velour.[19] They again won the following episode, portraying Blac Chyna for "Kardashians: The Musical".[20] Couleé won another challenge in the ninth episode, "Your Pilot's On Fire", again alongside Sasha Velour.[21] In the following episode, "Makeover: Crew Better Work", Couleé lip synced for their life against Nina Bo'nina Brown, sending her home to Demi Lovato's "Cool for the Summer".[22] Couleé won once again during the season's "Gayest Ball Ever", after creating a look inspired by the Village People's "construction worker".[23]
In the season's finale, the final four queens all participated in a "lip sync for the crown", a new format for the show. Couleé was selected to lipsync against Sasha Velour, to Whitney Houston's "So Emotional", but lost. They ultimately placed in joint third/fourth place.[24] [25] Couleé's loss was met with controversy, with many people claiming that Couleé should have won the crown.[26] Couleé themself responded to the controversy, defending Velour's win, and saying "Ultimately Sasha was more successful than myself and the other girls."[27]

Activism
Couleé has said it is important to them to use their career in drag to inspire people. In an interview with Seattle Gay Scene, they said, "I would say the influence I would like to have on the queer community would be to inspire people—specifically queer POC—to feel comfortable in themselves and their identities, to understand that they're special, they're amazing, and that anything you want or dream about, you deserve it."[94] They have been particularly outspoken about racial equality, especially within the RuPaul's Drag Race fandom and drag community. In October 2018, Couleé interviewed The Vixen about racism in America for the UK's Black History Month edition of Gay Times.[95] In another interview with Gay Times UK, Couleé discusses the importance of supporting and uplifting trans women of color.[96]
Couleé has spoken against President Donald Trump.[97] Specifically, in reaction to Trump's potential policy eliminating transgender recognition, they wrote:
Continuing their political activism, Couleé endorsed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren,[98] and spoke at Warren's DragCon NYC booth, encouraging people to vote for her in the 2020 United States presidential election.[99] They also marched alongside Warren at the Las Vegas Pride Parade.[100] In 2020, Couleé participated and spoke at the Drag March for Change in support for the Black Lives Matter movement.[101] [76]

At one point, they suffered from bulimia.[106] In 2018, Couleé received corrective dental surgery, something they wanted since they were a teenager.[107]
They adopted three drag daughters, Kenzie Couleé,[108] Bambi-Banks Couleé, whom they had adopted into their family in 2018,[109] and Khloe Couleé, whom they publicly announced as their newest drag daughter on June 12, 2020.[110] Shea, Kenzie, Bambi, and Khloe represent the current members of Shea's drag house, Maison Couleé.[111] [76] They had named Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Josephine Baker, Diana Ross, and Stevie Wonder as personal icons and influences.[9] [112]
