[lang_en]Jade, who served as Paseo Boricua Cacica/Queen 2007-2008, was selected as one of the top nine in National Rupaul’s Drag Race- a competition that involved thousands of female impersonators. Jade is one of the first female impersonators, serving as an ambassador to the Puerto Rican/Latino Community. She serves as a model and inspiration to the Puerto Rican/Latino LGBTQ residents in Humboldt Park. Jade’s motto is “Always stay true to yourself and never give up.”

The Puerto Rican Cultural Center and Vida/SIDA Bartolo Hernández de Jesús congrats to Cacica/Queen Jade [/lang_en]
