We know that Yara Sofia isn't the only Puerto Rican queen to ever compete on "Drag Race," but it turns out she has closer connections to some of the other queens than just their home island. Yara says that fellow "Drag Race" alum Nina Flowers is actually how she got her real start in drag. "Nina Flowers gave me my first opportunity to perform. Before that, I used to wear my mom's heels and I was so interested in this world," she said in an interview with Socialite Life.

Meanwhile, Alexis Matteo — whom she lipsynced against in Season 3 — is from the same area, though they had never met. "It was so weird because ... we know everybody and when you come here I can introduce you to too many people because Puerto Rico is so small ... [but] I didn't know her ... she had never performed here before. And when I saw her ... I was like 'Oh my God! She's from Puerto Rico. Fine.' That's what I thought. And at least she could help me translate." Ha! 

Yara has also said that drag comes first in her life. "The man I am ... is only for my family and a partner, but Yara is in charge the rest of the time," she told Hot Spots Magazine.
