Joella

The artist

Bold work.
Unforgettable presence.

Joella—The Slaysian Diva—is a Los Angeles performer whose drag combines traditional Chinese references, street fashion, and pop-culture camp. A bold personality and visual storyteller, she brought plus-size Asian representation to RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17. Proudly drawing from her Chinese-American identity, Joella uses drag to challenge expectations while celebrating boldness, humor, and visibility. Her larger-than-life personality translates naturally to performance, hosting, panels, fashion activations, and meet-and-greets, giving audiences an artist who is candid, imaginative, and consistently memorable.
