SHADES
OF PRIDE
Join
us for St Pete Pride's Shades of Pride!
Shades of Pride will celebrate the history of Juneteenth while
showcasing the Art and Qulture of our Black and Brown LGBTQ+
siblings. Come join us to learn more about the deep impact of
Black and Brown qulture on the LGBTQ+ community as a whole and
its deep roots in the evolution of Pride. We purposefully center
the much too often unheard voices of the Black and Brown LGBTQ+
community by uplifting their experiences through an educational
panel, “The Legends Panel: The Intersection of Pride and Juneteenth”,
local entertainment, and vendors from within the community.
St. Pete Pride will welcome national talent, Ts Madison, also
known as Maddie, to host the “Shades of Pride” event. Madison
is a reality television personality, entrepreneur, actress,
and LGBTQIA+ activist. Through her reality show, The Ts Madison
Experience, she became the first Black Trans woman to star in
and executive produce her own reality series.
Shades of Pride will be held at the Studio@620, the brainchild
of Artistic Directors David Ellis and Bob Devin Jones, along
with a host of hard-working board members, volunteers, patrons,
and visionaries. The idea grew out of a core belief that we
must create safe spaces where intersectionality can be celebrated
and showcased. Art and diversity play a crucial role in the
lives of individuals and communities and it is our duty to fight
for the authenticity of every single member of the Florida LGBTQ+
community and worldwide. Without People of Color, there would
be no Pride and it is our honor and obligation to make sure
that is reflected in every aspect of our celebration.
Vendors are invited to sign up through the following link. To
amplify our commitment to equity, BIPOC owned and operated businesses
can register for a discounted vendor space through Shades of
Pride Vendor Registration and selecting the BIPOC Owned or Operated
business option.
