🏳️‍🌈 What is Ballroom?
The underground ballroom scene originated back in the 1920s in Harlem, New York. It was crafted by Black and Latin trans women and drag performers seeking refuge from racism within the white pageant scene. This vibrant culture has evolved to become a safe space for all queer people of color, allowing them to express themselves freely. The houses, akin to family units, form the heart of ballroom culture, competing and supporting one another.
