Prepare to be inspired by some of the boldest voices in queer entertainment today! This electrifying panel features RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under Season 2 winner, Spankie Jackzon, alongside comedian, content creator, and all-around icon Christian Hull, and filmmaker and journalist Christopher Amos plus other trailblazing creatives who are redefining the industry. Together, they’ll spark an honest, empowering conversation on the highs, lows, and everything in between when it comes to queer representation and the journey to the spotlight.  


Our panellists will dive into their personal stories, sharing the obstacles they’ve conquered and how they’re opening doors for the next generation of queer talent. From challenging tokenism to nurturing genuine inclusion, this discussion promises to uplift and inspire. Expect insights on navigating the industry, staying true to oneself, and building a creative landscape that celebrates every identity unapologetically.
