ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Congratulations on your first challenge victory, ever!
You seemed genuinely moved by the victory on the main stage.

Why did it hit you so emotionally in that moment?
I went in with the idea of just enjoying myself and doing a little better than I did before.
You don’t wrap your mind around hearing that you’re the winner.
You get used to being safe or coasting on through.
There’s a remarkable shift in confidence from the Trinity we saw on season 6.
I think age and wisdom.
Who I am now is authentically who I am.
When I speak, I speak from a caring place.
I mean, I brought it!
Did you do anything specific to prepare like you take acting classes?
I’m just comfortable with the idea of being silly!
I’ve always been a jokester and a comedian.
I was genuinely, authentically just being myself.
That’s how I normally am.
I’ve been around them.
When you apply who you are to a character, you’re free to’t mess up being you.
That made it so much easier to go out there and do it, because I was playing myself.
What’s the most memorable moment you had with Taylor or the other queens from the set that day?
It was a great day.
The best part about it was just her wanting to be around us.
It wasn’t like, she was the artist using us for the video.
She wanted to hang out, we were drinking champagne at 10 in the morning.
When we did the VMAs, it was the same punch in of energy.
She was available, she came and spoke, hung out, it was a comfortable environment.
It didn’t feel like I was with this megastar, I was just with another artist.
She put us up lovely.
I have nothing but positive things to ever say about her.
She was really sweet…. She’s just one of those girls who gets the gays!
Everybody had their hands in what it was they wanted to be fixed.
A lot of this s— was just improv!
The dance part and little things, we worked well together.
What is Yara Sofia like as an acting partner?
Is it even describable what that experience is like?
She’s just loud!
It works because she is so crazy and kooky!
It allowed her to be herself, and you might’t mess up a character if you’re being yourself.
It made it funny, so, working with her was easy in my eyes.
When you’re competing for something, you tend to forget your power.
If I brought, I believed in it.
If I did it in the challenge, I gave it my best in the time that was given.
These girls need to be reminded that they’re dope.
They called you to be here, you didn’t have to audition this time around.
You gave your best, and that’s all you have to give.
Oh God, it would!
But, I’m an Aquarius, I’m stubborn and stuck in my head.
When I’m ready to transition into that mindset, then I’m ready.
Can’t nobody make me!
But people have been telling me for years that I’m good and that nobody can break me.
I brushed it off, but now I’m really seeing it and believing it and manifesting it.
Had you pre-planned that or was that just something you did to play off of Laganja in the moment?
I just went for what I knew!
I listened to it and that’s what the body gave.
When I perform, it’s weird.
Trinity just takes over.
I don’t do the splits and the death drops.
I knew she’d twirl all around me.
I gave it my best shot!
I gave my own bang out of power and so did she.
Man, look, she tore Silky’s ass up!
Let’s end on: Without spoiling too much, what can people expect from Trinity going forward?
Are we in the midst of the Trinity Revolution?
I don’t remember everything in between, but those are the things that can make or break you.
I think I’ll be fine in the challenges….
It’s good, it’s great, it’s okay, it’s a journey for me.
But, I think people are going to enjoy it.
