About Me

Celestia Renee Cox has played with characterization throughout her entire life, from dressing up and performing shows in the backyard, to being an active member in the theatre community, “the art of impersonation has always been fascinating” to her. Cox is currently in her sixth year of entertaining in Drag. Currently, Celestia performs 4-5 days/nights a week over the state of Virginia. You can typically find her at her home bar, Godfreys Va. Cox can also be found between the Nations Capital, Charlottesville, and Virginia Beach. When asked what one of her greatest entertainment moments were, she replied: “For me, being supported by today’s youth is so humbling and important because they get it. They see drag for the face value. What they see is pretty figures and shining, confident personalities...If I can empower other people to have confidence in themselves and forget about the madness of the world today for the duration that they are in my presence, then I am doing my job. Life is far too short to not have fun.”

Celestia has previously worked with The Trevor Project (https://www.thetrevorproject.org) providing crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ youth aged 13-24. The past two years, Celestia stated: “I’ve worked hand in hand with the Children's Hospital at VCU to raise almost 900 new books to brighten children's faces.” Currently, Celestia works with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention(https://afsp.org). To date, she and the community have raised over $10,000 for the foundation. 

When asked for a quote that represents how you live your life, Cox stated “To see a better tomorrow, we must start today.”
