First off, we want to wish our Beloved Goddess of Love & Light ICONIC DJ @thelinabradford A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! This shapeshifter witch is an aging backwards and we are here for it. Seems like all the love she gives to our community in NYC and around the world is returning to her in the best way!! Lina, you are my chosen SISTRIX and have been a mentor to me since the beginning of my careerāI am forever grateful.
Second, Lina is a Founding Collective Member of @theradicalheartscollective and hosted a TDOV fundraiser at @cafeterianyc for our new Youth Empowerment Alliance aka YEA!! We want to thank CAFETERIA for becoming a Legacy Partner, all of you who supported by donating, sharing or showing up and showing out.
We will continue to share photos, videos and more from that night! DM us on how to connect, volunteer, sponsor or support our YEA program.
SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO @paco.may@anthonyraul@victorjolley FOR ALL THEY DID TO MAKE TDOV A HUGE SUCCESS. We are so very lucky to have you as Directors that not only uplift RHC but all of our community members 365 days of the year. Love you forever!!
The Radical Hearts Collective had a lil kiki with @thelinabradford and @cafeterianyc last week for Trans Day of Visibility.
For the event, I did a series based on the iconic photos of New York personalities that grace the cover of every Cafeteria menu. I did them all in the famous Cafeteria baby blue with a little pink thrown in for the occasion.
The event was to celebrate trans visibility and to raise funds for our Youth Empowerment Alliance.
As the creative side of the coin, I try to always celebrate the OGās in the community and make sure they know WE know. As we develop the organization, it only makes sense to cultivate that same spirit with the younger members of our community who will carry the torch. My partner in crime, LGL Tenacity, is always thinking bigger and brighter. Big thanks to @lanapatelxoxo@anthonyraul and @itsmedaria for every single thing.

TWILO 2026! Such an honor to be a part of the team to bring back the memories and the music. Drawings to come š Shout out to @justoartigas for putting me on ā¤ļø @twiloevents
You all ready for tonight and tomorrow night at @twiloevents ā¦
Twilo was a legendary New York City nightclub, famous in the late 1990s and early 2000s for its incredible sound system, marathon DJ sets, and diverse crowd, becoming an iconic institution for electronic music. It closed in 2001 but is set to have a sold-out reunion event in March 2026 at its original location, confirming its lasting legacy in NYC nightlife.
Key aspects of Twilo:
Era: Operated from 1995 to 2001 in NYC, with a brief revival in Miami from 2006-2007.
Atmosphere: Known for its powerful sound, immersive experience, and a unique mix of people, from club kids to celebrities.
Music: A mecca for house, progressive, and techno, featuring legendary DJs like Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, and Junior Vasquez.
Legacy: Its closure left a significant void, and its name still holds immense cultural weight, as shown by the immediate sell-out of its reunion event.
Reunion: A two-night reunion is scheduled for March 6-7, 2026, at its original address, featuring original DJs and a no-camera policy to recreate the original vibe.
