A New Era of Health & Empowerment for the House Ball Community

Future of the Scene is a bold new initiative created by and for young Black and Brown gay, bi, trans, and nonbinary folks in the Los Angeles House and Ball community. We know the Ballroom scene is more than just culture, it’s family.

Future of the Scene connects the community to trusted health services like PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, and works in partnership with Houses to host workshops, build safe spaces, and celebrate wellness without stigma. Whether you’re walking, judging, voguing, or cheering from the sidelines, this is about making sure you—and everyone in your House—has what they need to stay protected and empowered.

Your scene. Your health. Your future. Let’s make it legendary.
