Counter Corner: Irma Edition
Despite blocks of North Miami Avenue still without power, Counter Corner returned to 1306 this month to raise proceeds for those severely affected by Hurricane Irma. 1306 management and event organizers Sleeper Speaks and Juleisy y Karla were able to secure a generator last minute to provide lights for the queens as they performed. A modest crowd filled the venue with warm energy, excited to have a familiar safe space to return to after the storm.
