A friend called her "Jaida" when she put on a wig for the first time, and the name stuck. "Essence" came from her boyfriend, who called her "the essence of beauty" in a text message. [5] "Hall" is the name of her drag family; her mothers are Tajma Hall and Prada Diamond, and her drag sisters are Mercedes Iman Diamond, Naysha Lopez, Dida Ritz, and Kahmora Hall. [6] [7] [8]

Jaida was announced as a contestant on the twelfth season of RuPaul's Drag Race on January 23, 2020. [25] During her time on the show, she won three main challenges, including the Fosse-style number on episode two ("You Don't Know Me"), the political debate on episode nine, and the makeover on episode ten. She also had one appearance in the bottom two, after a shaky performance in the one-woman show on episode eleven. Jaida ultimately sent fan favorite, and eventual Miss Congeniality winner Heidi N Closet home after a lip sync showdown to Prince's hit song "1999". She was crowned the winner (virtually) on May 29, 2020, after winning a three-way lip sync against Crystal Methyd and Gigi Goode to "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. [26] [27] This performance earned Jaida a nomination for the 2020 People's Choice Awards, in the Competition Contestant category. [28]

She returned in the eleventh episode of the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars as a "Lip Sync Assassin", where she lipsynced against Eureka! to Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly". [29] In April 2022, Jaida Essence Hall was announced as one of the eight returning winners that would be competing in seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars , the first ever all-winners season of Drag Race.
