Downtown Jozi will be lit up tomorrow night with the annual and much anticipated Feather Awards. Adding some new flavour to the Feathers brand will be a two day LGBTQI+ festival with live music, food stalls, fashion, art and whole lot more! In its 11th year, the awards will be hosted by the oh so handsome Moshe Ndiki and fabulous Rami Chuene at one Fox Street in Joburg.
If you thought the hosts were super glam then you haven’t seen the nominee list yet! Some of your faves made the cut we can’t wait to see who scoops the awards for each category.
They’ve also introduced four new categories with one of our faves being the Best Rainbow Parenting award. Actor and producer Lumko Johnson’s mom, Felicia Leqela is in the running and we’re excited. #GearUp and get ready for a dazzling night of style and grace.
