Vogue Nights | Creating Safe Spaces For Queer Identities
In celebration of pride month, I would like a shed light on one of my favourite nightlife spaces, Vogue Nights.

Tshedza Mashamba argues that Vogue Nights is committed to gifting people the best experience while remaining safe and aware. She also believes that it is also a universe of liberation, especially for young queers. “This is a space for them to taste and experience a different kind of freedom and safety. Lelo hopes this space brings young queers joy and makes them feel welcome.”
