“As a Black non-binary being, I’ve always believed that
loving up on my melanated, magical self is truly a radical
and revolutionary act. One of the ways I love up on me is
allowing myself the freedom to express myself and one of
those creative outlets is fashion. Accessorize, glamorize
your magical self because you deserve it. Strut into your
fierceness, hunny!”

“Personally, I am most proud of coming out and talking
about being Non-Binary on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK with my
good friend Bimini Bon Boulash, this was the first time in
British TV history that two non-binary people have spoken
about their feelings, experiences and shared their coming
out stories. Raising awareness about non-binary life is my
personal proudest moment to date.“

“I feel the biggest way I can create change for future
generations of little Black, LGBTQIA+ humans is by showing
them that no matter where you come from, you can go
anywhere you put your mind to. Since a child, I’ve dreamt of
traveling the world and even though it didn’t seem feasible
given the circumstances of life, I never stopped dreaming,
pushing the boundaries, and exploring myself and the world.
And you shouldn’t either.”

“The message we would like to share and encourage with
our community is that the life they envision living is in fact
possible. With hope, it opens your heart and mind to believe
anything is possible. What you believe, you can become. Do
not let anyone make you feel or believe that you can not
achieve your life goals.”

“I can showcase who I am, who I am proud to be, and how
comfortable I am in who I am today. To see the rainbow
flags, the trans flag just makes everything so much brighter
and colorful and it just allows me to feel more proud.”

“Even though there’s still much work to be done, I’m so
proud of the progress the LGBTQ+ community has made.
Just seeing my dads being visible living their dream as
parents to my younger brother is amazing progress and will
help inspire the younger generation.”

“It was really the rave community that gave me the
confidence to be authentically me and that I was enough.
I broke away from the mental chains that kept me
uncomfortably comfortable for so long. Since then, I have
been living my truth as a queer woman and loving every
moment of it!”
