Mayor Bonnie Crombie Celebrates Pride 2021 with Fluffy Soufflé & Friends

Please join Mayor Bonnie Crombie with Fluffy Soufflé for fun-filled and educational hour celebrating Pride Month 2021 with special guests, Priyanka, Ru Paul's Canada Drag Race Winner, and Mississauga's own Ryan G. Hinds, a theatre artist, actor and cabaret performer. We welcome all Mississauga families, youth and residents.

Fluffy Soufflé:

Kaleb Robertson (he/him) is a Toronto based Cultural Producer who is a queer transgender man and performs as Fluffy Soufflé (they/them), a non-binary drag persona. He does workshops for youth and adults on identity, body positivity, queerness, Trans issues, drag and creating diverse inclusive spaces. He has recently done a series of workshops on Trans and Non-Binary Representation in media. His multimedia workshop includes sharing personal experience and sparks discussions around intersectionality and privilege.

Kaleb has been exploring gender since the age of two when he declared he was a boy. Both on stage and in daily life, he has performed various aspects of masculinity and femininity. Fluffy is half of the magical children’s entertainment duo, Fay and Fluffy’s Story time. When producing events and performing, their goal is to make drag accessible to all ages, and to foster a fun, inclusive environment.
