LIBERATION-Jossi
from PERIOD. Issue III
At the beginning of Summer 2023, I was awarded the Avis Pendavis Angel Award at the Latex Ball. It was a liberating experience for me because I was recognized not for my beauty or competing in Ballroom, but for what I have done outside the Ballroom community for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. Being recognized and rewarded from my community made me feel seen. Seen, for what I have done to give back and not for something as vain as my appearance. This was liberating for me!
