A little late, but still filled with so much gratitude and love! 👑✨

A few months ago, we had the honor of supporting the Imperial Court de San Diego’s Investitures and Prince & Princess Royale Ball. What an amazing event filled with elegance, royalty, community, and so much love.

It was truly wonderful to be there, celebrate with everyone, and show our support for the incredible work and spirit of the San Diego court. The evening was beautiful, the hospitality was so warm, and the energy in the room reminded us why it is so important to continue showing up for one another across all realms.

Thank you to the Imperial Court de San Diego for welcoming us with open arms and for putting together such a memorable celebration. Congratulations to everyone who was invested and celebrated during this special night.

We are always grateful for the moments that bring our court family together, and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon. 💙👑✨

As we rise with pride, we honor every story, every journey, and every person who has fought to live freely and authentically. Together, we create a stronger, brighter, and more inclusive future rooted in love, unity, and acceptance.

To our LGBTQ+ family, allies, supporters, and community, may this month remind you that you are seen, you are valued, and you are loved.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave service members who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a holiday. It is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others could live with freedom, dignity, and hope.

As we remember their courage, we also carry forward the powerful message of Technical Sergeant Leonard Matlovich:

“Our mission is to reach out and teach people to love, and not to hate.”

May we continue to honor those who came before us by choosing love, unity, service, and community.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day.
