There is no courage without vulnerability, and no one should have to be brave just to be themselves. Here’s to creating a world where being seen feels safe, being different is celebrated, and everyone gets to take up space as their whole selves. ❤️ Happy National Coming Out Day. 🏳️‍🌈 #NationalComingOutDay #QueerJoy #LGBTQArtists #SafeSpaces #AuthenticallyMe

Controversial artistry in opera🚨 Prima la voce (voice first) is such a predominant ideology in opera and classical singing. But I think there is something so profound in an emotionally connected performance. Something with a humane quality to it. Especially in the age of AI, I certainly stand firm in being a human and strive for excellence. This includes the whole package, not just robotic, emotionless, perfect singing. Perfection is so boring. Be a human. Art is humanity. 🎥: interview with @lamoooore for @wearyellowproudly @epopphilly ‘s presentation of Memoirs of a Gaysian at the inaugural @phillyprideaf !

It’s been a minute since I’ve had to belt like this, but every second was worth it to bring “Memory Song” from A Strange Loop to the stage. This piece carries such a profound weight. The words are not just lyrics; they are a reflection of identity, history, and the power of memory itself. So grateful to have shared this experience in Philly for @phillyprideaf through @epopphilly. We had the best time. 🏳️‍🌈 📷: @torian.studios
