Description
Photograph of Sierrah Foxx by Loc Robertson. Photograph was taken at the Krystals drive-through on Curry Ford Rd., Orlando.
Allysia Williams or known on stage as Sierrah Foxx was an entertainer in Orlando, Florida. Known for her performances with 1980’s and 90’s music, Williams was also a freestyle DJ from Tallahassee who would make her own mixes for performances and was a regular at gay nightclubs in Orlando for more than two decades, including Pulse. Williams was living in a house on the same block as Pulse when a gunman rampaged through the club June 12, 2016, killing 49 people. She let two people who had fled the massacre into her home. Williams has obtained several titles such as Miss National at Large and Miss Florida F.I. at Large. Williams was found dead at her home on April 2, 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She passed away due to complications from cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure.
Loc Robertson and Leigh Shannon had an idea to spotlight some local Florida Drag talent, with this selected year allowing selected entertainers a fun photoshoot of their choice where Robertson took a full body and then head shot.
