THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE 💙✨
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out for a very special edition of our iconic RuPaul’s Drag Race Watch Party in Coney Island, created in collaboration with two incredible Brooklyn-based organizations- Gay Ridge and Defend Us, who are doing vital work for LGBTQ+ communities across New York City. And huge thank you to our amazing, brilliant cohosts:
@shoqfactor and
@shirleyujestnyc
From Bay Ridge to Brighton Beach and all across Southern Brooklyn, we came together in a shared space of resilience, joy, and visibility. In a time when it’s easy to feel divided and depressed, it’s exactly moments like this remind us of what’s possible when we show up for each other.
Since its inception, Tawk Productions has been committed to building spaces rooted in art, accessibility, education, and radical inclusivity. Events like this are a reminder that just because something doesn’t exist yet doesn’t mean it shouldn’t. Together, we are shaping a Southern Brooklyn that is more joyful, more inclusive, more connected—and more alive for everyone, regardless of background, identity, or experience.
AND BABY, WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!
Because Pride is not only 365, but Pride starts in the heart and in our own backyard!
As the season of Drag Race is coming to an end, you have two more chances to gather this season:
