Nikita Dragun

Beauty Marketing & Product Development Graduate Nikita Dragun grew up in Virginia as part of a conservative family. After moving to Los Angeles to attend FIDM, she began gaining popularity as a social media personality. Once she decided to open up about her journey as a transgender woman on YouTube, Nikita's following exploded and she is widely recognized as a role model for the LGBT community around the world. 

Today, Nikita has millions of followers and fans across her social media platforms. She's been featured in publications such as ELLE and Allure, and her beauty tutorials and candid videos rack up nearly a million views when they are posted. "I do believe I'm helping a lot of people by being so publicly open," she recently told ELLE.com. "I wish I could tell myself that all of those qualities about myself that I knew instantly, even as a kid, and that I knew I had to hide—and I hid them for most of my life—that those qualities would push me forward in life."
