Welcome to the Ballroom Wiki!
Ballroom Wiki is a celebration of the Ballroom Scene, a subculture rooted in creativity, resilience, and community, created by LGBTQ+ black and brown individuals in the early 1970s. Here, you’ll find profiles of iconic houses, performers, voguers, commentators, and activists who shape Ballroom’s past and present. This is a collaborative effort, so feel free to edit and add more information with your ballroom knowledge.

Maldonado appeared as a judge for three seasons on the HBO Max series Legendary. She was the only judge on the main panel that came from the world of ballroom.
