The Rainbow Railroad
In countries all over the world, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) people live in basic fear for their freedom, their safety and their lives. They often have nowhere to turn because their government and police not only tolerate but encourage this brutality.
Rainbow Railroad exists to help these people get out of danger to somewhere safe. In the spirit of and with homage to the Underground Railroad, the mission of Rainbow Railroad is to help LGBTQI people as they seek safe haven from state-enabled violence, murder or persecution. Through funds collected by people like you, they are able to support, provide information, and help to arrange safe transportation for these LGBTQI people to somewhere in the world where they can live their lives in freedom.

From Facebook….
**DISCLAIMER** It’s a long one!! Hard to believe this weekend will be my one-year anniversary DJing in clubs. Actually it’s my one year anniversary back DJing after 25 years. Who would’ve thought that at 48 years old and being laid off from corporate twice that I would be back pursuing something that should’ve never been put to the side back in 1994 thinking it was only going to be a hobby.(My only regret is..what if? What if I never put this to the side 25 years ago, where would I be now?) This year by far exceeded all my expectations. I’m thankful for Cristoph’s for giving me the opportunity to grow with them as this was their first year as well and gave me my first residency. I was lucky to not have one but two resident gigs at the same time with Tequilas in Ybor. I never thought I would be in the place I am at this moment. Honestly, I thought this moment wouldn’t be for another year or two thinking I had a lot to prove to everyone before they took a chance on me and booked me in their clubs, but word spread quickly!! Thank you to G St Pete, Honey (Power Infiniti-Battle of the Houses), Oasis – Sarasota’s Premier LGBT + Venue and especially Parliament House Orlando for three bookings with two more in the following weeks, and I never thought I would be asked to DJ for six cast members from “Days of Our Lives” in Atlanta! I’ll admit DJing in the clubs opened a lot of doors for me personally too. I had a feature done in Hotspots Central along with many private bookings including wedding engagements, receptions, pool parties (Man Soup 2018/2019), Hunger Run 5K 2018/2019, apartment complexes, birthday parties, and even hosted some karaoke. Oh, I can’t forget to thank all the DJs, VJs, Producers, & Promoters that have guided me along the way!!! This year I have some personal goals that I’d like to accomplish including being booked at certain venues inside Florida and out of state sometime this year. I will say if it wasn’t for Cristoph’s and letting me be booked at other venues, I wouldn’t be where I am today. With that said, I’m still at Cristoph’s on a weekly basis, however, I will have a few Friday night and/or Saturday nights available monthly for bookings not only outside Tampa but also within the Tampa-St. Pete area as well to continue my journey. You can still catch me during the weekend at Tequilas too. Thank you again to everyone for your love and support and to my friends who have also told me “It’s about time you’re back at this”! Also, thank you Bradley Nelson for my viral FB video! haha
