SUMMARY:The Activate Mini Kiki Ball
DESCRIPTION:Queer people around the world know all too well what it feels like to live in the shadows. We’re told we’re not enough\, and that the best we can expect is a world that’s ashamed of us. \n\n\n\nBut it only takes one moment to ACTIVATE your power and release it into the world. This is that moment… \n\n\n\nThink of this ball as a retelling of a story we all know too well. The journey of an oftentimes lonely queer kid discovering their power\, building true community around them\, and falling in love with themselves all over again. \n\n\n\nThis is a story of hope. A story of resilience. A story of creativity. And a chance to finally be ourselves\, surrounded by a community that celebrates us\, even in a world that’s tried to make us feel unworthy.
