For Empress


Angelique Chantez Dubois

If the name "Dubois" sounds familiar, it should. Angelique is the drag daughter of Empress 5, Zsa Zsa Dubois. Angelique has been a member of the Arizona Imperial Court for almost three years; and has held a line title for two; serving with Zsa Zsa and now as Princess to Rein 6 under Lady Christian. While she might be a newer face in the AZ drag community; Angelique is no stranger to performing, having done a great deal of community and college musical theater. She also carries with her years of experience in organizing and fundraising. Angelique is the alter-ego of Phoenix resident, Jim Ward. As a member of the court, Angelique quickly found her niche, performing in shows and events. In her first year with the court she organized and co-hosted the STUFF-A- STOCKING show in December 2010, raising money for AGAPE feeding program and Joshua Tree. In November, Angelique worked with Kenneth Anthony on the Fall Frenzy event where together they raised $1000 for Youth Empowerment Project. Angelique is also the Court's elected representative to Her Majesty's Parliament. Parliament is a group of representatives made up of members from the 69 courts across the US, Canada and Mexico. The group meets annually, to share ideas, discuss strategies and foster growth in the local courts. In January, Angelique traveled to Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada to represent our community, and continues to work with initiatives benefiting the court system and our local court.

Angelique's goal in Rein 7 is to see community organizations grow as they continue to pull together, so events dove-tail to reach common goals. She desires to foster the image of the Imperial Court in the larger community as well, hoping to reach out with fundraising events for several non-GLBT charities in addition to building on the foundation the court has established in our community. She would especially like to see the Arizona Imperial Court continue to grow with new members joining the cause --especially younger people who have interest in using their talents for good. Angelique is excited and ready to "help newbies find a family" … just like she has.
