Dr. Nasser "Nas" Mohamed's Threads of Pride is a fashion show redefining LGBTQ+ activism as a vibrant celebration of beauty and creativity. Aimed at showcasing resilience amid oppression, the event underscores that fashion can serve as both a personal and political statement. Fashion's ability to spark dialogue is emphasized, as it invites questions more effectively than traditional protest methods. The initiative also seeks to foster economic autonomy by directly connecting fashion designers with LGBTQ+ nonprofits, promoting both solidarity and innovation within the community.
It's through summoning beauty, joy, and shared humanity that we can connect, heal, and inspire people, rather than just through shouting the loudest.
Threads of Pride is my version of protest, defiance, and pushing back against the challenges faced by our communities.
Fashion gets people talking in a way that policy briefs never could; it invites questions and starts a dialogue.
The event aims to create economic autonomy while celebrating queer brilliance and creativity, bridging the gap between fashion and LGBTQ+ nonprofits.
