They will be joined by a panel of LGBTQIA+ activists, artists, and performers – including Marshall Martinez, Executive Director of Equality NM, and drag model/performance artist Avery Martini – for what promises to be a lively panel discussion.

     Anita Dolce Vita is editor-in-chief of leading queer style magazine dapperQ, which has provided a platform to transcend oppressive fashion rules and inspired people to rethink queer fashion and beauty. In their book, Vita demonstrates that, regardless of gender identity, race, body size, ability, age, or style, queer fashion is for everyone.
