This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Naomi Dix!
Since 2014, Naomi Dix has been involved in the drag community, and her work all over the Triangle provides a wonderful portrait of the LGBTQ+ community, and the acceptance found in understanding, family and holding space.
“I know, for me, that Pride has always been about just the gathering together and the unity and the happiness and the joy, but also a long and hard history that the queer community and trans community – specifically the queer, black and brown and indigenous and trans community – have been through for so many decades. So, though it’s a joyous season for us, we never forget the struggles that came before us.”
