[22][23] Chrissy Callahan of NBC News said Sasha Colby's look "channeled" the "Jenny from the Block" music video.

[26] In 2020, she represented Hawaii in GLAAD's video, which featured drag queens from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and sought to mobilize voters in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

[29][30][31] Later that year, Colby spoke at the annual Pride Month celebration hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris.

[33][34][35] Colby waited until she felt it was her time to audition for the show and told Vogue that winning during a year of vehement anti-transgender legislation was important to her.

While on Drag Race, Colby performed a lip-sync to "Zombie" by The Cranberries to honor her Irish heritage and the trauma of seeing the Warrington bombings on the news as a child.

Additionally, the performance was a tribute to how "Zombie" helped her cope with witnessing her parents' struggles with mental illness, especially her mother who had bipolar disorder.
