Spotlight on award winning performer @jessthndr
This is Jessabelle in her own words:
Hi there, I’m Jessabelle Thunder-a burlesque performer from Los Angeles. I began my burlesque career in 2010 and have performed with Dita, and all over the world.
These 10 years in burlesque have been quite a journey and a huge discovery of self. I’ve learned to love the skin I’m in. The Black skin I’m in. And with that being said, I want to pass that feeling onto other women of colour. Growing up, I lacked Black role models, not because there weren’t any, but because Black people weren’t often pushed to the forefront. Sadly, the same thing can be found in the burlesque community. However, there are many people out there changing that, and I hope to be one of those people some day, through producing my own shows, having my own company that books Black burlesque talent, pushing Black bodies forward in any way I can. I want to shift the mainstream idea of beauty and let people know that Black is beautiful.
Recent events have made most people look at the world differently and truly start to see the systemic racism that’s been going on. As a result, people have been active in pushing Black voices and faces to the forefront and it’s fantastic! I want this kind of energy to remain long after the black squares have been posted and protests have stopped. It’s necessary. Let’s strive to make this world a better place-LET’S ALL BE THE CHANGE THAT WE NEED TO SEE IN THIS WORLD AND CONTINUE TO UNITE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION OF BLACK, BROWN, POC, LGBTQIA+ PEOPLE
Thank you Dita, for letting me share my story!
The last 3 slides in this post are examples of how the Black burlesque community is coming together: 1) some of LA Black burlesque 2) @thecocoabutterclub in the UK which inspired the previous photo 3) @jeezysjukejoint the first all Black burlesque festival. The snippet of my showreel was created by my best friend @cubanmissilecrisis, my Brown brother in burlesque (to see the rest, check out my IGTV)
