Wonderful memories. I'm in the credits as Kevin from Brooklyn 😊 I walked BQ 1st time in drags. In my electric blue lame gown, with a powder blue feather boa. I come up on the far left. My name was Queen Asia Ominessa Omni. 30 years later we screened the film thanks to Directors Michelle and Simone. At the end of the screening they gave me a donation to start the fund for the Kevin Omni Burrus funeral/ burial fund for the Community. I also hosted the 30th Anniversary in Harlem NY

I wish I lived near you when I needed to belong. Its so beautiful the way that people like you created a sense of community and belonging for people who were literally unwanted and unwelcome simply because we are considered to be too feminine, etc.
