Filmed over seven years, Paris is Burning follows queer men and trans women of colour who illuminated the ballroom scene with shade, fashion and fierce voguing. Jennie Livingston's documentary follows the lives of members of the community, revealing the poverty, racism and homophobia they faced. It is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand the origins of modern ballroom culture and the resilience of marginalised communities. It also touches on issues that remain prevalent today.

The Berlin Pride weekend was a total blast and one of its major highlights was the second Colors of Pride Kiki Ball hosted once again by Gina Angels and Papi 007.
