I was one of the only out gay people and a target for most. Being the only boy in an all-girl dance group, I always knew I didn\u2019t quite fit in\u2026but that did not stop me. One day I saw&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YXS0cVxyMuI\">Vogue Evolution<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<em>America\u2019s Best Dance Crew<\/em>&nbsp;and something just clicked. It was like a calling to me \u2019cause since then, I haven\u2019t been able to stop voguing! I spent years studying the clips I could find on YouTube, going back all the way to the 90s, learning my history. I researched all I could on Ballroom and then started venturing out to Boston where I attended my first ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default has-large-font-size\"><p><em>I soon moved to Boston with friends which is where I joined the&nbsp;<strong>House of Escada.<\/strong>&nbsp;That\u2019s when everything changed for me. Not only did I find my house but I found my chosen family.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We all lived together like the old days of Ballroom, the Mother (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/london.darkhorse.escada\/\">London Escada<\/a><\/strong>) and her kids. We\u2019d stay up all night long practicing,&nbsp;<em>kiki<\/em>ing, and getting ready to storm the balls. I soon became a star in the Boston scene, winning many grand prize trophies and making a name for myself. I started assisting London in teaching vogue classes around the city and traveling the country to compete in balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default has-large-font-size\"><p><em>\u201cWe were scouted by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/legendarymax\/\">HBO Max&nbsp;<strong>Legendary<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;to join the cast of season 1.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>After the show, I moved to NYC to really immerse myself in the culture where it all began. Since then, I have continued to walk and make my name known. Being the only&nbsp;<em>Vogue Femme<\/em>&nbsp;of Escada in this big city has been tough at times but as we say, \u201cTo be an Escada you have to be able to bear the weight of the crown\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default has-large-font-size\"><p>\u201c<em>I am co-host for&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/story.snapchat.com\/p\/86937537-395e-4b2d-9776-95a2c92697da\/2328946393180160\">Hold That Pose For Me<\/a><\/strong>, the first ballroom show on Snapchat.<\/em>\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I also competed in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Kiki-Show\/dp\/B08P6B51PR\">The Kiki Show<\/a>, Season 2, on Amazon Prime against voguers from all over the country\u2026similar to Legendary but this time competing by myself (in the Kiki Scene as a Mulan) and I managed to win the whole thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life has been great! I am perfecting my craft in a new city and eventually want to tour the world doing what I love to do most, dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it weren\u2019t for the Legends and Icons that came before me that made all this possible, I would still be lost and not living my dreams. I owe it all to them\u2026my chosen family and the endless opportunities. I truly find myself in this art form and will forever pay homage to the ones before me. Ballroom saved me!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"573\"
