Every LGBTQIA+ individual knows the profound value of finding and spending time with the people that make us feel safe and seen. 

This week special host and All the Best Trainee Madhuraa Prakash takes us into the realm of World Pride 2023, sharing stories about the value of community. 

Drag Kings

First up, Madhuraa takes us to Mardi Gras Fair Day to showcase the Drag King community and challenge some assumptions along the way.
