Godiva Romance is an NYC based drag entertainer hailing from Kansas. Has been in the industry for 15+ years, during which he has done a lot of work raising funds and awareness for the LGBTQIA+ community in all boroughs. She has been hitting the stage with To Proudly Go, NYCs only star trek themed drag show, for 4 years now, walking in Brooklyn pride and proudly attending star trek and Sci-Fi conventions alike. Through the organization she has had the pleasure of being included in a New York Times night life feature AND a short but sweet cameo in the documentary “Beam me up, Sulu”. She has helped raise over $14000 for various charitable organizations benefiting the lgbtqia+ communities. She hopes to continue this wonderful work in the community and looks forward to every opportunity To Proudly Go, where no Queen has gone before!
