Connek Workshops - MORE TO COME!
Connek workshops are a series of skill sharing classes to harness education/ skill sharing for queer Jamaicans in Kingston, free of charge for attendees! Connek works with an international professional or expertise to build a curriculum, fly them down and we host an intimate workshop for free in Kingston. It’s a tangible way for us here at Connek to connect foreigners and queer Jamaicans throughout the year with cultural exchange.
We’ve hosted one workshop already during the 2023 Doll Ball 3 weekend with legends from the NYC ballroom scene, Iman Hill and Fatoumata brought down by Black Trans Travel Fund to stand in for Leggoh Johvera. The dolls were flown down to Kingston to teach queer Jamaicans what they know about ballroom culture in our “Ballroom 101” class and got the attendees ready to compete the next day for Doll Ball 3!
