🏳️‍🌈 Wela’lioq for supporting Kepmite’lsi Festival 🏳️‍🌈

We are filled with joy as we wrap up this year’s Pride Festival. Thank you to all our team, volunteers, performers, sponsors, and attendees! Your energy, commitment, and love made this festival such a success.

Next year will be Kepmite’lsi 10th year anniversary. Our organization was created by our three co-founders: the late Sherise Paul-Gould, Geordy Marshall, and Muin Ji’j Bernard. We wanted to highlight the dedication they’ve brought throughout the years, and made this organization successful. As our 10th year anniversary is approaching, we will start planning soon to have a bigger festival for next year! Keep an eye out for updates on our 10th year anniversary festival!
