As a former homeless youth and graduate of the Reciprocity Foundation\, Lyssette developed a love for yoga and meditation. She credits her first acupuncture treatment as the first time she felt “at home in her body”.  Armed with new tools\, Lyssette spoke out on the many ways trauma manifests in black and brown LGBTQ homeless youth. Acupuncture treatments\, yoga and mental health services have been supportive in speaking and finding the courage to heal.  \nInspired by the works of Audre Lorde\, Lyssette strives to make self care and healing accessible to those in need and reduce barriers  to healing. \nLyssette’s activism has led to many creative endeavors including an Emmy nominated short documentary about the myths and causes related to youth homelessness. They were also named one of the ‘Top Forty Under 40’ by The Advocate magazine and their work was featured on the cover of Gay City News.  \nLyssette says\, “By prioritizing my healing and my truth I give permission for others to commit to their healing  journey and show up authentically. \n  \n \nKlondyke is an alien tragg*t superstar!!! Child of a black hole and a supernova\, raised by a 4th dimensional rockstar. Experimental musical theatre composer\, Haus of Quench Member\, and winner of Cakeboys 2021 Takes the Cake Competition they are here to terrorize norms out of existence through the great unifier: MUUUUSIIIIIC! \n  \n \nNadia Iqbal is a writer\, actress and comedian based in Brooklyn\, NY. She is a certified cat lady and an official citizen oral historian for the 1947 partition archive. She is still very mad about colonialism. \n  \n
