The Iman Time Machine Ball Recap

NYC Pride marks the coming of the House of Iman annual ball and once again Overall Mother Aisha Iman gathered the bigwigs of community health organizations to sponsor a beautiful venue in order to throw the ball. Free HIV testing provided by H.E.A.T. with support from Hetrick-Martin Institute and GMHC women's program.

My disappointment started first with seeing the lack of support from not only the womens houses and walkers but from the mainstream and kiki scene. No ball will ever be a hit if a minimal amount of people show up or walk. Then it was elevated when seeing how many people showed up so many hours late. I, myself was late due to preparing for my sister's graduation party later on that night but the majority of people arrived at least 4-5 hours late and some even complained that the few categoris that were left were taking too long b/c they wanted to run off to attend a club event that night. If people would have arrived on time, the ball couldnt ended within enough time for all of them to go home, bathe, rest and get dressed to be at the club at a good time.

Ultimately, a ball us only as good as the support, participation and respect from the community is.

I would love to read some feedback from those who attended but for those who haven't attended... watch the following videos and "You Be The Judge"!
