Hell’s Kitchen knows how to throw a party—and this June, we’re turning it all the way up. Our Love Thy Gayborhood campaign is back for Pride Month with a lineup of events made for mingling: queer speed dating, knitting club (yes, really), and plenty more on the calendar. Stay tuned, get involved, and come celebrate the neighborhood we love most.

06.28.26 • Debuted and closed La Cage aux Folles at @nycitycenter Encores! 💐

This production was a gift of joy, healing, and unapologetic Black queerness. Saying I’m honored to have been a part of it is an understatement.
Until next time 💋

We Did It! The New York Season Finale Screening of Season 6 of Talks With Myself concluded. Freedom House Ink and OmeProTV spent months building this event so our community could actually connect and grow together. One night. That’s all it took. And the room felt it. Every single person in that space felt it. Sometimes you plan for months and hope something lands. Sometimes it lands harder than you imagined. This was one of those times.

And her we are THE FINALE! This experience has been second to none. One of a kind, and special! To be able to get on that stage every night for the last two weeks or so EXPRESSING WHOLE HEARTEDLY every part of me… I can’t put into words what that feels like you know. More like there aren’t enough words! This show has impacted me in a way I was not expecting at all. TO BE BLACK AND QUEER AND IN LOVE OUT LOUD FULLY EXPRESSING YOUR FULLEST SELF, the little gay boy in me that was bullied, and ostracized, and judged is SO FUCKING HAPPY! THANK YOU TOO ANY AND EVERYONE APART OF THIS PRODUCTION.

Cats:The Jellicle Ball - Tony Afterparty. So, I might have had a good time. It was my first night out dancing in over 4 months. At this point I had been up for 20 hours straight: Tony rehearsal, Tony dress run, Matinee of Cats, then back to Radio City for the actual Tony’s. I’d been thinking about this day as a finish line for 3 years. Turns out the work is just beginning. Regardless, this was a day and night of celebration and release that I will never forget #nowandforever
