Description

Storytelling allows us to learn from others’ experiences and shapes, strengthens, or challenges our opinions.

Our talk show brings together people interested in inclusion and equality. You’ll hear powerful stories and have a chance to join the conversation, which can impact not just the workplace, but society as a whole. Pride Business Forum Voices is not just a talk show — it’s also a chance to spark change and highlight voices that challenge how we view acceptance and understanding.

We will share more details about the program soon.

Event Details

Cassiopeia

Dan has been performing as Cassiopeia since 2019. Cassiopeia combines Dan's love for makeup, performance, and artistic expression through glamour, pop aesthetics, and music. Inspired by singers like Ariana Grande and comic book heroines, Cassiopeia brings elegance, courage, and individuality to the stage.

Like other drag queens, Cassiopeia lipsyncs, but she also sings live during her shows, which she often hosts herself. This not only showcases her musical talent but also adds emotional depth to her performances, setting her apart from other drag queens. Cassiopeia embodies modern drag—bold, captivating, and ready to inspire her audience. Cassiopeia is Dan's love letter to women and everything he admires about them.
