Like many other kids Leo is a big fan of car racing. When he was looking for racing shows on Netflix one day he found something very different though: RuPaul’s Drag Race. “Oh my god, I need to do this!” he thought and so he did.
Fast forward to today and he has just won an award celebrating young people in his hometown. For his own drag. He is from Corby, a town in the county of Northamptonshire, England and is now known as Violet Vixen on his YouTube channel
Every year, the town celebrates young people at the Spirit of Corby Awards. After receiving the award, 12-year-old Leo said he hoped to inspire people to be themselves. “I feel shocked and really proud,” he told BBC.
