🔥 THE RESURRECTION BALL CATEGORIES ARE HERE 🔥
Each category is an invitation to rise, transform, and embody a resurrected archetype through a futuristic lens. Here are the categories for The Resurrection Ball:

The Praise Dancer (OTA – Performance) | $300
From the church that cast you out to the ballroom that lifted you up — tonight you dance for your own resurrection. Vogue like deliverance itself, like you just caught the spirit and refused to let it go

Chrome Angel (OTA – Open to All) FACE | $100
Step forth as a celestial being forged in steel and light. The judges are seeking structure sculpted by God, A smile that gleams with perfection, Skin kissed by the sun and eyes that smolder with divinity and a futuristic edge.

Jezebel (OTA): S*x Appeal | $100
Seduction reborn. Lace, leather, crimson lips, bodies draped in temptation. Walk with a sin-soaked strut that leaves judges whispering confessions.

Head of Security Realness (Male Figures) | $100
Post up like the ultimate protector. Judges want intimidation mixed with undeniable style.

First Lady on First Sunday (Fem Figures Realness) | $100
Every Black church kid knows: the first Sunday is a runway. Your look must scream “she runs this congregation and the pastor knows it.” Judges want opulence and authority.

Alien Superstar (OTA) – Futuristic Runway | $100
Serve futuristic high fashion. Silhouettes not of this Earth to sell the future on the runway. Judges want to be abducted by your brilliance.

TRANScendent Royalty: Best Dressed | $100
A category to honor our trans sisters and brothers that embody the fullness of their resilience. Judges are looking for a look that resurrects the archetype of strength and rebirth, transcending every barrier.

J-Sette Resurrection Battle (OTA) | $100
Strut, buck, and, bring it all on the dance floor in this One-on One J-Sette Battle. Judges are looking for a nasty count with power, stamina, and presence that resurrects the floor.

We’ve reached 60% of our $100,000 goal!!!! Thank you all so much for your continued partnership and support of MashUp Weekend. We truly can’t thank you enough.

Being a part of the MashUp family is more than cutting a check. The trust we have built across Nashville as a source for community care, safe spaces, and cultural programming is something we hold with pride. When you support MashUp, you benefit from that trust too. We want to invest in you, celebrate you, and grow a partnership that lasts.

Our 2025 MashUp Weekend brought more than 800 people together for healing, joy, and connection. Guests called it “safe,” “transformative,” and “the absolute best.” With your support, we will go even bigger in 2026. This community deserves a weekend where Black q***r folks don’t just exist, but thrive. A weekend that celebrates our art, our pleasure, our families, our resilience, and the future we’re creating together.

Black LGBTQ+ communities are facing rising political and financial barriers. MashUp remains a lifeline of care, connection, and joy. Even after losing a major CDC grant in early 2025, we chose to rise, expand our partnerships, and keep critical programs alive for the people who rely on them. Your donations keeps this work going. Every dollar helps heal trauma, expand access to affirming care, and uplift Black LGBTQ+ voices. If you feel called to support, we have sponsorship tiers, individual monthly donation tiers, and one-time donation options on our website: https://www.mashupnation.org/mashupweekend.

Through education, awareness, and access to trusted medical professionals and resources, the event will encourage informed conversations, promote HIV testing and prevention, and help reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS.

By bringing together community partners, healthcare leaders, and residents, this collaborative initiative seeks to empower individuals with knowledge, strengthen collective responsibility, and advance health equity—reinforcing that awareness, advocacy, and action remain essential to protecting the health and well-being of our communities.
