GRAND PRIZE OTA: $2500 WINNER 💰🏆 Your new champion of the FIRST-EVER Onyx Ball at @rootspicnic has been crowned! Hosted by @housesofluv @phillyblkpride @livenationurban and yours truly, The Icon @jacenbowman — history was made on that stage. To my judges, the fierce competitors, and the legends who gave it their all—I’m PROUD. You showed up, showed out, and let the children have it! And let’s not forget the heartbeat of ballroom: @kevinjzprodigy on the mic and @pumpdabeat on the beat — y’all set it OFF. This was only the beginning. Ballroom on the main stage? Yeah… we did that. 💅🏾🔥 #OnyxBall #RootsPicnic #BallroomToTheMainStage #PhillyBlackPride (fb)

Our board member @rock.damic, who also serves as the Community Engagement Coordinator for @philly.bebashi, spoke powerfully at today’s flag raising for @phillypride365 🏳️‍🌈✨ Pride is more than a moment — it’s a movement. It’s about visibility, justice, and JOY for every letter in our community. Today we raised the flag, but every day we raise our voices. 🌈✊🏾 #PhillyPride365 #PrideIsPower #Bebashi #CommunityFirst #LGBTQIA (fb)
