Forget the drab Seattle weather and think festive and fun. Glitter. Sequins. This is your chance to shine as we come together in a night of glitzy glam celebration to raise funds to power the dreams of our rising LGBTQ+ leaders.

This year, GSBA is partnering with Host, Adra Boo, and Auctioneer, Sasha Summer Cousineau to bring the celebration to life. 

Adra Boo

Seattle soul singer, emcee, curator, coach, City of Seattle Music Commissioner and Black Auntie, Adra Boo, navigates many spaces as a member of both of Simone Pin Productions and Dark Diamonds Burlesque, singer/songwriter for indie-soul duo Fly Moon Royalty and new wave noir band Hotels, as a solo entertainer, and she’s shared stages with local and internationally known music and burlesque performers. She also is the creator of #BlackHotSunday, events and showcases focused on Black people and Blackness to the front! A veteran performer on myriad stages, Boo has been compared to timeless musicians like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, unafraid to ruffle feathers or rouse would-be audiences. And while all of these efforts cause her to stand out in the city, it’s her work as an artistic liaison that has made her a local legend. You can find Adra HERE.

Sasha Summer Cousineau – Fundraising Auctioneer
