Strike a Pose

PLAYLIST ∙ 2021

Apple Music Pop

Modern ballroom culture—like the Pride movement itself—grew out of black and brown communities. Queer and trans people of color, who often had nowhere else to turn, found a sense of family, identity, and self-empowerment in the world of drag performances and competitions. That spirit of queer resistance and resilience lives in this playlist of triumphant pop that celebrates smashing prejudice and the joy of being yourself. Strike a pose and vogue!
