| dc.description.abstract | Legendary Mother Marco Blahnik talks about growing up in Cherry Hill and South Baltimore in an accepting, interfaith family.

He describes the history of the House of Blahnik and the community work the house undertakes as an incorporated nonprofit organization, including HIV/STD education and providing scholarships. He talks about walking the butch queen European runway category and the family relationships he formed in ballroom.
