Sasha Colby is a trans woman. She is based in Los Angeles. Sasha Colby was born in Waimānalo, Hawaii as the youngest of seven children. She was raised in a conservative Jehovah's Witness household. As a teenager, she secretly did drag, locking herself in the bathroom and wearing her sister's clothes.

Sasha Colby is also known as a trans model and activist. In 2020, she represented Hawaii in GLAAD's video, which featured drag queens from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and sought to mobilize voters in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, she organized a monthly trans-inclusive event at The Chapel, a gay bar in West Hollywood, California.

In 2023, Sasha Colby was cast on the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. She is the first ever Native Hawaiian to be cast on Drag Race and the first winner of Polynesian descent. She was crowned the winner of the season, earning the title of America's Next Drag Superstar. Later that year, Colby spoke at the annual Pride Month celebration hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris. She is the "drag mother" of RPDR season 14 contestant Kerri Colby.

Colby has Native Hawaiian and Irish heritage. While on Drag Race, Colby performed a lip-sync to "Zombie" by The Cranberries to honor her Irish heritage and the trauma of seeing the Warrington bombings on the news as a child. Additionally, the performance was a tribute to how "Zombie" helped her cope with witnessing her parents' struggles with mental illness, especially her mother who had bipolar disorder.

Colby is passionate about learning history. She is particularly inspired by the gender transition of Chevalier d’Éon during the 1700s.

Her titles include Miss Continental 2012, Miss Pennsylvania Premiere Continental 2012, Miss Continental 2008, First Alternate, Miss West Virginia Continental 2008, Miss Continental 2005, Fourth Alternate.
