Saltina Shaker is an Ottawa-based drag artist and digital influencer whose bold style, viral transformations and fearless advocacy have drawn nearly three million followers across social media. With one foot firmly on stage and the other in front of the camera, Saltina blends high-impact drag looks, comedic skits, beauty content and creative digital storytelling into one irrepressible personal brand.

Now stepping into an even wider spotlight, Saltina is a competitor on the newest season of Canada’s Drag Race — bringing her muscle-queen energy, high-concept drag and unapologetic voice to the mainstream. This milestone marks a major moment in her career and the next chapter in her mission to entertain, uplift and disrupt.

Off-stage, Saltina is equally powerful. She is a proud disability advocate and body-positivity champion who openly shares her lived experience as a queer person with an invisible disability — using her platform to amplify marginalized voices and challenge norms. On the academic side, she is currently completing a Master’s degree at the University of Ottawa, underscoring her commitment to both creative and intellectual pursuits.

Creativity, curiosity and connection fuel Saltina’s work — whether she’s creating shape-shifting drag visuals, provoking thought in her advocacy or lighting up the screen for an audience that’s watching her next big move.
