Still glowing from our 2nd #DOLLBALLJA - Jamaica’s 1st and only running Ball in history - and we are so thankful. We are in awe of our beautiful community here, congratulations to the winners, and big up the the Connek family for inspiring us to foster the ball room scene here in Jamaica. Big up to all the category sponsors like @blacktranstravelfund and to all of you who believe in what we are trying to build here. // We started this journey of bringing events and spaces of love back to Kingston after the COVID pandemic 1st hit and it’s one we couldn’t have done without you all. From our Go Fund Me fundraiser campaign in 2021 where we also raised funds for @wechangeja to Connek gala dinners with @yardyworld @tuna__turner to fundraising parties with @ragganyc at @nowadaysnyc in NYC to interviews with @loveinjection.nyc - it has been a long road to make this all happen and we so thankful to all of you who have donated, shared our project, and helped us on this journey. Connek JA is our passion project that we don’t profit from so all your help has meant so much to us. Stay tuned for CONNEK’s next ball and how you can help keep Jamaica’s Ball scene and queer community thriving. Blessings - @1emmanuel & @neonchristina 😘🇯🇲🏳️‍🌈 #jamaicanpride2022 #jamaicaballroomscene #connekja #ragganyc #ourstory photography by @marinaburnel 😍- thank you so much @marinaburnel // @kimbashy in this photo looking like an ICON!
