Welcome to In Sacred Spaces, a three-episode series in which we visit spaces around New York City that are sacred to specific communities. For this episode, we’re gathered at the Chelsea Piers with members of the ballroom House of Louboutin: Iman, Ciara, Kalik and Shai, as well as Colby, who’s been part of the In Sacred Spaces team since the beginning. All five of them are LGBT individuals who grew up in Baptist churches. Some are now leaders in the Ballroom community and others are advocates for social justice. You can learn more about each of them on our website. They share their reflections on our first two episodes, as well as how they personally relate to grace, love, motherhood and community.
