Cross-promotion from this original event link. i3b is excited to be a co-sponsor of this event! Please make sure to click "going" on original event post.

Join us for a discussion, documentary showing and performances reflecting the intersection of Latinx & LGBTQ+ identity, drag, and activism! We will be joined by the FIERCE duo of Raquel Ita and Barbie Q, whose mission as drag artists are to make the world a better place through telling stories, inspiring/empowering youth and giving representation to the Latinx and LGBTQ+ community. They most recently were featured in a short documentary, Las Reina De Los Cuentos (13 mins), which shares their activism in bringing a Drag Storytime event for children to their local library. We can’t wait to welcome them virtually and to close Pride Month off together!

Co-sponsored by: The Women’s Center and Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (i3b)
