Drag Queen & Activist
Queer Entertainers Coalition for LGBTQ+ Public Health
Denver, Colorado
Dr. Zackarina Jenny-hoe (not a doctor) is a Denver, CO based drag queen who sits right at the intersection of campy, Gen Z fun and public health activism. Through the art of drag, her goal is to spread messages around public health, Queer social justice and personal well being for LGBTQ+ communities around the globe using mixed methods including social media, drag shows, philanthropy events, academic conferences, research, film/television and more. From hosting traditional drag events and fun shows to running community-based health fairs, PrEP and HIV education sessions and speaking at national public health conferences, the ‘Doc’ can do it all! She fights for the LGBTQ+ community's health and wellbeing from local levels all the way through state and federal legislation. She holds a master’s degree in biomedical sciences and is a national board certified health and wellness coach. Zackarina continues her work out of drag as a harm reductionist leading innovative programming, outreach and education in addition to coordinating and instructing Colorado’s only LGBTQ+ specific Adult Mental Health First Aid course series. If you come to one of Dr. Zackarina's events or follow her on social media (@dr.zackarina), not only are you going to learn, grow and have fun, but you're also supporting on-the-ground public health activism to make a better future for our LGBTQ+ community.
