(00:00):
The social good magazine is designed to inspire others to make a difference in
their communities.
Created by Kristen Thomasino.
This show and magazine showcases the stories of people making a positive
impact in their neighborhoods.
And beyond, whether it's through volunteering, fund raising or simply
lending a helping hand.
These individuals remind us that we can all make a difference.

(00:22):
The social good magazine is the perfect tool for anyone seeking inspiration to
get involved in their community
after literally years of rehabilitation.
It was so awesome to be able to go out and go to this rooftop party and to just
hang out with other people, period.

(00:43):
It had been so long, especially after everything that had happened on the
current events.
Being around others in human contact was super important.
Hollywood's a blast.
And the w was perfect.
You've got to get out and dance.
If you have any West Hollywood, it's a ton of fun.
You'll meet lots of friends.
I did.

(01:05):
It was important to me, when the city became more open, to go out and dance,
to go out and explore and to experience night life and see,
after I had done all this work with my legs, how I could dance now
dancing is important, and I learned a lot in Los Angeles.
There's so many different styles of music and people that love to just get
down.

(01:25):
You can't help but have a good time.
So find a great dj.
Someone like fema and others like dj.
Las ortees.
Get out there and move, because it's amazing.
Do they better brought that me?
I tell you, guy, that both way to buy.
Don't breathe.
I do this thing.
There were lots of people at the Dinahhelping others feel safe, to be themselves

(01:48):
and talking about the importance of self expression.
Even singer Macy Gray joined the crowd and serenade us that night with her
fantastic song.
What I love best about these events, hosted often by Rose Garcia and others,
is that they created safe spaces.
And I think that's what we all want, are safe spaces.

(02:08):
To just be
forty is very, very hard.
I've been called
a safety
or the heavy thing community.
So we have already

(02:32):
answers.
Just another phenomenon night held at Rocco's Weho in West Hollywood,
and it's just another great event by feature.
DJ Leslie Ortiz
Answers are really what mattered and places where women could feel safe to
express themselves and do it in a way that it's respectful.
And I think that's what I like about what rosegarcia and Leslie or Ts are

(02:54):
trying to do along the scarlet.
Snow, is create these safe spaces for
these very talented women to express themselves.
Coachella is another place that just celebrates the beauty of having human
rights and self expression.
This wonderland that's been created out in the desert is truly a phenomenal

(03:17):
site to see.
Next up, I attended Ru Paul's Dragcon 2022.
Thank you, LA convention center for making a fantastic event possible.
And he knew that when you go in there, you could find a place of safety,
insecurity, to just be,
see all these, check it out.
Somebody thought, opportunity, my people, to see to others

(03:42):
so much diversity and beautiful fashion.
Self expression is their own decision making.
Now, I like to just the way I dress.
Sometimes it's more fun, sometimes it's more good.
Like sometimes in broadness it's whatever I wanted to be.
Sometimes I'm sporty.
It doesn't matter.
That's the point here, being here?

(04:03):
Have you?
Folds?
Drag, show this the point that these are
just going to keep working never know what it like to take you next.
So, seshea, way,
oh yeah.
Again.
There.
I don't really wear makeup, but this time I decided to get my eyelashes

(04:24):
done.
It put a lot of glitter on me, and it was a lot of fun stepping up.
Awesome it.
Look at
smile.
This is all just about having fun and styling myself anyway I want to.
And this is what this type of event allowed me to do.

.
So this is what people are doing

(04:51):
they are eating, drinking, dancing and
dressing up to
have a good time.
People wanting to have fun, just like everyone else.
I'm back from dragoncon, and it was just phenomenal.
And what I love about shows like this is that it's just about self expression,
community friendship.
One of the fun things is just seeing all the amazing performers, and just

(05:14):
the bravery of, like all these folks to wear what they wear and to do what they
do.
And I've seen great performers all across Los Angeles and Palm Springs and
work, again, other places.
And it's just great.
Anyway, more power to our direct Queens.
I'm with you.
Stay cool, stay beautiful and just keep on being you.

(05:35):
It was the final day of the show.
And I was super excited to go back out and cheer more people up.
I dressed up in my boxing here.
I wanted to show people that I'd be a fighter, a fighter for human rights.
I had trained and trained when I was rebuild, playing my body, and now I was
using these skills.
And I wanted them to know to be brave and don't be afraid to be themselves,

(05:58):
and that there are places of safety, like this place here in Los Angeles,
that they could always come to, spend
all kinds of blood fits for the chamber and try to raise aware.
That's quite pretty good.
I pretty much dressed up.
I played the business role.
I was fully clothed on the first day.
And then as I got more and more into the event and decided to participate

(06:22):
with some of the suppliers and see what they could bring to the table, I
purchased and bought goods and services.
And boy did I have a blast.
Human rights are important, and that we should be brave and strong, and self
expression is something that is a human right.
People should be able to style themselves anyway they want to.
Whatever it is that makes sense for you.

(06:43):
That's your own personal journey, and that's what I took away from recall's dragcom.
Next up was pride.
People like me were accepted and celebrated.
I think that what most people hope for is community.
And that's certainly what I've found out here in Los Angeles.
Yes,
I cried.
It was unusual for people to understand what it's like to grow up and to be in

(07:06):
places where, yes, you can be accepted in some ways, but in other ways, you
have to keep quiet.
As the day went on, I love that this place valued
making time for pride.
Sometimes people might not understand why it's important for others to come
out and feel accepted in community, but I think that examples of events like

(07:27):
this are important for all kinds of communities.
People are trying to connect with people that are like them.
As we become more accepting,
we end up finding the richness of life that we've all been seeking.
In that human connection, we all deserve

(07:49):
things.
Sure.
Please.
Expanders,
I know what in YouTubers comes
very.
In my journey to experience more of the late life, I discovered another group

(08:13):
called Hawtmess Productions and started attending some pretty unique parties.
There were all kinds of elements that were incorporated into these events.
Lights and toys and all kinds of things that made it super magical and fun.
These event creators made sure to have other kinds of options.
They made a wellness bar that included non alcoholic drinks, too.

(08:35):
I appreciated the theme parties that were being thrown by these creators.
It made it more fun.
Something about getting dressed up made it seem a little bit more whimsical and
more fantasy.
Like.
I got to know Morgan a lot more.
Her and Jess Weiner were responsible for throwing all these amazing parties.
And I decided that I would put them in the social good magazine.

(08:57):
I loved what they were doing for the community, and the safety and security
that they were creating along with all these crazy fun experiences for people
to have.
Cherry.
Bomb was up next, and these were another group of people focused on how
they could create safe spaces for people to party.
I went to check him out and decided to include them in the social good magazine.

(09:21):
Our father, c, o, the honest enough
of my name, about me.
So much
as I ever seen.

(09:42):
I met all kinds of cool people at these events, and I'm forever grateful for
being able to have the time to go out and network and be social along the
way.
On my journey, I also discovered another group that put together an
amazing night called prescio to night.
It was put on by a couple called Eden and j.
And they were just
delightful and adorable.

(10:03):
What I think is phenomenal as that.
At the end of the year, I got to see this community of entertainers, performers
and people who like to come out and dance and have a good time, all come
together to give back to the local children, with charity in the end.
Now if that isn't something to cheer about, I don't know what there is.
Thank you all for joining me.
