"One of the things that I love about Duluth is that we're such an open and loving city," said one artist involved with this year's events. "Kids do feel safe being who they are."

Jasmine Flowers had not seen events like this in Duluth before, and it introduced her to Spoon’s Bar and Grill and Loc d Up Kreationz / LUKS Beauty, she said.
Flowers is grateful to have met Ronning, who has been a big help with her hair and clothing outfit Blessing Royal Collection.
“The reason why I am far in my business is because of her,” Flowers added.
Ronning’s invitation to the showcase was key in learning more about the Northland and getting involved, said Nate Elsey Williams.
