Hallaloo! The Paseo Boricua Pageant is honoring RuPaul’s Drag Race veterans Alexis Mateo and Yara Sofia by crowning them as Cacica Queens for their extraordinary examples of what a queen can do.
In case you don’t know, “cacica” is a Spanish word for a female leader of a tribe. The word comes to Spanish from the language of the Tainos, the native people of Puerto Rico.
The Paseo Boricua Pageant serves to promote a safe and inviting environment where young Puerto Rican/Latino LGBTQ individuals can shine as role models. It aims to challenge traditional ways of thinking about homophobia and transphobia and these girls are anything but traditional so it’s a great choice.
Congratulations Girls!
The Coronation will be held on Friday, June 17, from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m., at Circuit Night Club, 3641 N. Halsted Street. The show will start at 11:30 p.m. A donation of $10 will be required. Those donating $15 or more will receive VIP treatment.
