Talentiish, a premiere queer talent management agency that is committed to uplifting the voices and talents of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, celebrated Pride at Soho Grand’s legendary Club Room this week with queer founded skincare brand Beekman 1802. Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, co-founders of Beekman 1802, stated that the event was a tribute to the creativity, resilience, and contributions of Black and Brown LGBTQ+ individuals, and that they were honored to be a part of it!

The evening kicked off with a dynamic DJ set from the legendary Kevin Aviance, whose iconic presence and influence have been recognized on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning *Renaissance* album.
