KALIK B
(2022 - ongoing)

This documentary serves as a homage to the rich history of the Ballroom scene and the various BIPOC and Queer identities, talking about stories of family, resilience, loss, and its unwavering pursuit of passion and purpose. Central to my exploration is the significance of representation—the power of seeing oneself reflected in narratives of resilience and triumph. In a world where visibility is often scarce, this documentary aims to amplify the voices of those whose stories have long been marginalized, offering a platform for empowerment and advocacy.
