Hi, my name is Tynomi Banks and I'm from Toronto.
My drag mother is Nicolette Brown and
I asked her to do my makeup one time.
And I've only done drag, at that time, maybe once.
We did my makeup and when I was done,
I was in the mirror just looking at myself.
I had this nice little ponytail.
A cute, cute turtleneck dress,
cinched waist and I was like,
"Oh my God, I look like... I do kind of look like Tyra
but I'm feeling and my attitude is more
Naomi Campbell. So took five minutes,
scrabbled the names and then
came up with Tynomi Banks.
I've done this for so long and I think...
I think I have the upper hand on people
because even though I haven't done
competitions, I've made a name for myself.
That was all me with the hustle. So I think
that gives me an edge on some of these girls.
My resume is very long when it
comes to entertainment and a lot of them
don't have that experience. So I think...
Sorry, bitches, that's gonna help me.
Maybe that I have a lot of brothers and sisters.
I have an extended family.
Most of them, my stepbrothers and my brother,
they know that I'm... I am gay and
they love me and accept me.
