HBO Max brings the underground ballroom community to the mainstream by showcasing “houses” as they compete in balls to show off their skills in the five elements of voguing and fashion to win a $100,000 grand prize, but more importantly “legendary” status and bragging rights.
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion and actress Jamila Jamil serve as a surrogate for those entering the ballroom space with fresh eyes. As they learn from icons like Maldonado and Wesley, who are veterans of the scene, the audience gets to learn with them. “What I have done in my career is become a storyteller for Black history and fashion,” said Roach. “What people don’t realize is that the ballroom scene is part of Black and brown history…and I have just been blessed to see some of those moments in real life.”
He also said that it gives the opportunity to give people to relate to a house or a member of a house as they tell what they have been through to get on the stage. “We want you to feel like you are in the audience watching us and feeling our energy,” he said. “We are giving our authentic selves.”
