About this project

Their cause

LGBTQ+ RIGHTSAs a member of the LGBTQ+ community it is vital for me that my work not only reflects who I am but it also supports my community, especially those in challenging and most times life threatening circumstances.I already donate 100% of the royalties of my song "Look at me, look at you" to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute and I hope that as I grow as an artist I can do more for them and many other LGBTQ+ institutions around the world, especially on countries where being LGBTQ+ is illegal and/or dangerous.

How they'll use their space

Currently I'm working on what it will be my second studio album, and one of the songs I'm working on it called "Proud" a song that is not only celebratory but also a call to action, especially after a year of pandemic where many LBTQ+ members, mostly POC and trans woman have been severely affected. So what I will do in the space it will be a music film for this song and interviews. Beyond the promotion of this song, I want to include LGBTQ+ interviews and tell their stories and their reason to be PROUD of who they are, and hopefully who see it will be inspired to do more for our community and inspired to be PROUD.

What is Space for Change?

Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.

Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.

Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
