It’s April 1, and the countdown is on! Prism Prom is just FOUR DAYS AWAY! This year’s theme, Lavender & Lace, invites us into a night of Regency-style elegance and unapologetic self-expression. From the softness of lace to the strength symbolized by lavender, the evening will be a celebration of showing up fully, freely, and fabulously. The magic is almost here, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
But the glow doesn’t end on prom night. Just a few days later, we’ll gather again for Trans-Lucent on April 11, a powerful celebration of trans joy and visibility. April is a time for honoring who we are, supporting each other, and standing together in both beauty and bravery. This month, we show up by candlelight and with courage.
We’re always looking for kindred spirits. Send an email to [email protected] and find your place in a community lit by courage, connection, and a whole lot of heart.
