Pride Royalty
Queen of Pride - Roxxy Malone
“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”
- Babe Ruth
I believe this quote has more meaning than just winning a crown. We are presented with opportunities every single day and the second you doubt yourself within those moments, you lose out on the magic that could have been. As your reigning Metro East Queen of Pride, my year will focus on harnessing your inner strength and overcoming those inner saboteurs. Each one of us has a dream, never be afraid to reach out and find your Happily Ever After.
King of Pride - Andrew Genius
Competing for and winning King of Metro East Pride has been an incredible experience! To be welcomed into the family and encouraged to hit the ground running with ideas is so heart-warming and exciting. My reign will be one of love and solidarity. I am honored to reign as a non-binary, lesbian, drag king, and not only do I plan to be visible at every community event I'm able to attend, I aim to promote love, pride, and unity during a time where so many others try to tear us down. Time to let that sunlight shine!
