Lifting Up Voices: Charlotte Black Pride
February is serving purpose, power, and pride, henny.
In this powerful Black History Month episode of Dishing with Buff Faye, Buff spotlights Charlotte Black Pride (CBP), now celebrating 21 years of leading culture for and by the Black queer community.
Buff is joined by her baby boy Giovanni D. Diamond—fresh off a January
reset—catching up on New Year’s resolutions, dating apps, and Gio’s very
specific Valentine’s wish list (yes, dolls… all his exes are drag queens).
Buff also shares her commitment to expanding opportunities for artists through the Buff Faye Drag Brunch House Cast. Explore the cast at AllBuff.com.
The heart of this episode centers on a meaningful conversation with longtime friend Quan Rutledge-Wade, alongside Myles Perry and Kourntnee Pope Collins, discussing the history, impact, and future of Charlotte Black Pride.
Myles speaks about the upcoming CBP events and making CBP more of a destination pride festival and celebration. Kourntnee speaks candidly about being a Black drag artist, serving in the military, and navigating today’s climate.
Quan reflects on legacy spaces like Oleen’s and Club Myxx, the importance of dedicated Black queer spaces, and what bold, unapologetic Black queerness looks like today.
Following the heartbreaking passing of Quan Rutledge-Wade before this episode could air, Dishing with Buff Faye made the decision to pause its podcast release. We now share this conversation in his honor—surrounding his family, our community, and his many friends with love. Quan’s voice, vision, and spirit will forever uplift and inspire us.
From the Kiki Ball to the Festival, Charlotte Black Pride’s 21st year promises
to be powerful.
Follow, support, and donate at CharlotteBlackPride.org to uplift Black queer artists and programs year-round.
As Quan said, “The more you immerse yourself in other cultures, the more you learn… learn something you never knew.”
This episode is bold. It’s affirming. It’s real. It’s about lifting voices,
honoring legacy, and building a future where Black queerness thrives out loud.
