POSE
If you enjoyed our first Pride month tiny history lesson on Instagram but haven’t yet watched POSE(trailer here), I’m telling you to drop what you’re doing and get hip. The show and its fictional characters are strongly inspired by the Black queer community that created ballroom and its houses in 1970s New York. The show is just as much about dancing and fun as it is about chosen family. I also want to add that POSE is not the first depiction of ballroom I have ever seen but it is one of my favorites because the cast and crew really reflect the community they are representing—and not only does the show have one of the most diverse casts that I have ever seen on TV, but it also has an equally diverse team working behind the camera. Anyway, I am now a stan of the entire cast and I am absolutely devastated that the finale is airing this Sunday June 6th—tune in!
