A hometown hero if there ever was one, Nina West has blossomed from her humble beginnings to become a mini icon in the drag world thanks to her commitment to old-school camp, comedy, and charitable causes. She won the prestigious Entertainer of the Year pageant in 2008, and has since used her platform to establish a self-titled fund at the Columbus Foundation in support of LGBTQIA+ causes. To date, she has reportedly earned more than $2 million for such causes.
